Knox County offering free smoke detectors to residents

The Knox County Fire Bureau and Rural Metro Fire are offering free smoke detectors to local residents as a part of "Get Alarmed, Tennessee."

The "Get Alarmed" program is a grant-funded safety education and smoke alarm installation program administered by the State Fire Marshal's Office.

The program distributes 10-year sealed battery smoke alarms to participating fire departments who then deliver the education and install smoke alarms in at-risk homes across the state.

Contact Rural Metro Fire or the Knox County Fire Bureau for a free smoke detector.
