Free Smoke Detector in Harrison

HARRISON– The Harrison Fire Department is continuing its “Free Smoke Detector” give-away. Thousands of free smoke alarms have been distributed to residents of Harrison over the past years.
The smoke alarms are given to the Harrison Fire Department by the New Jersey Division of Fire Safety, Channel 7 ABC, the Harrison Mayor’s Annual Golf Tournament and National Wholesale Liquidators.
Last week Ms. Niscosias class from Washington Middle School visited Fire Headquarters as a combined decontamination drill was being held between Harrison and Kearny Fire Departments. At the end of the visit they were each given a complimentary smoke alarm. The Bridge Tower Condo Association has also received detectors for each resident this week.
The Harrison Fire Department will deliver free smoke alarms and help with installation if needed. Any Town resident may call Fire Headquarters at 973-483-3039 to request alarms.
A working fire alarm can reduce the chance of a resident perishing in a fire by 50 percent. Please test your smoke alarms monthly.
