In the United States, two thirds of all residential fire deaths occur in homes without a working smoke detector. Your first line of defense in a residential fire is early detection. A working detector could help you and your family get out safely.

The Lexington Fire Department is committed to Fire Prevention and the safety of our citizens. Through a federal grant and the work of our Fire Prevention Bureau, we have purchased smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and 9-volt batteries. The Fire Department will be installing new detectors and detector batteries free of charge to Fayette County citizens who are over the age of 50 or disabled.

For more information on our smoke detector program you can contact the Lexington Fire Department Community Services at (859) 231-5668 or go to http://www.lexingtonky.gov/index.aspx?recordid=117&page=1438
