MOUNT VERNON – Mount Vernon fire, police and emergency services/civil defense departments will team up with Red Cross volunteers to install smoke detectors in homes in the city. The smoke detector installations are free to residents requesting them.
Installations will take place along North 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 avenues.
“We had a successful first campaign in one of the areas most plagued by fire,” said Mayor Ernest Davis. “We’re going to keep up the momentum with the help of the Red Cross to keep our residents safe.”
Volunteers will be installing the smoke detectors starting in July to help save property and lives.
Last year Mount Vernon was the second biggest recipient of assistance from the Red Cross.
