Smoke detectors can be picked up from the 42nd Ward Office between 9am – 4pm, Monday through Friday.

Most fires occur at night when people are sleeping. A smoke detector can alert you when there is a fire, in time to save your life. Below are some tips to ensure your smoke detector is properly installed and working correctly:
• Routinely test your detector correctly
• When a smoke detector sounds, get outside and call 911
• Install smoke detectors within 15 feet of any sleeping room and every level of your house
• Replace your smoke detector every 10 years. Write the installation date on the unit
• Don’t forget to install Carbon Monoxide detectors on every floor as well
• Any questions on smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors, call the Chicago Fire Department Public Education Division at (312) 747-6691
A special thank you to the Chicago Fire Department for the smoke detectors.
