A big thank you to American Red Cross of Massachusetts!

Captain Sjostedt accepted a generous donation of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms!

Smoke alarms save lives. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out.

According to National Fire Protection Association, almost three of every five home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms (41%) or no working smoke alarms (16%).

If you need a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm or would like to set-up a home inspection, call Captain Sjostedt, our fire prevention officer, at 781-585-0783.
