Chloride CRT Team Installs Smoke Detectors

Chloride CRT Citizen Response Team
On Saturday August 27th the Chloride CRT Team installed smoke detectors around town. Three teams installed 38 smoke detectors in homes around Chloride making these homes safer. Most residents were elderly and their smoke detectors were outdated and may not have worked when needed.

One resident who was 90 years old was happy to receive her new smoke detectors. Her old smoke detector was installed in 1998, and her fire extinguisher was 27 years old. Needless to say, neither would have worked if needed.

Residents received smoke detectors as well as fire prevention and escape plan education. Most had no escape plan, or location to meet other family members if a fire should happen.

Thanks to all the CRT members who helped with the installation of these life saving alarms.
