Volunteers to Install Smoke Detectors
Volunteers will install smoke detectors in 100 homes today as part of the Cause for Alarm program.
The focus of today’s work will be in the New Horizon Assn. neighborhood, along McFadden Avenue in Santa Ana. Firefighters identified the area as one with a low percentage of alarms.
About 50 volunteers will be briefed on installing the devices at 8 a.m. in the parking lot of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church on West McFadden Avenue. From there, the group will go door to door, distributing the alarms.
The devices were donated by the Orange County Area Agency on Aging, Fyrenetics and Energizer batteries. Volunteers will come from the Orange County Red Cross, the Santa Ana Fire Department and The Times Orange County. Information: (714) 835-5381.
