MONROE — The Monroe Township Professional Firefighters Association, I.A.F.F. 3170 (AFL-CIO) representing career firefighters in Monroe Township recemtly performed an extremely successful smoke detector and Carbon Monoxide detector battery replacement program for Fire District Three residents.
The program concluded on Dec. 31, 2013 with firefighters changing approximately 2,320 batteries throughout the communities and neighborhoods of Fire District Three.
The program’s annual kick-off coincides with the beginning of fire prevention month in October and runs through the end of December.
”The residents truly appreciate the program as our members are interfacing with them on a daily basis and performing fire safety education at the same time,” “ said Lt. Kenneth Link of Monroe Fire District Three. “The crews average about ten households a day during the program and appointments were coordinated seven days a week. The smoke detector and carbon monoxide detectors provide our residents an early notice that there may be a fire, or a carbon monoxide incident inside the home and any effort we can take to make sure these devices are functional is paramount to the safety of all the residents and their families.”
