EUREKA, Mo. - The Eureka Fire Protection District will again be visiting an area of our Fire District to check their smoke detectors on Saturday October 29, 2005. This year Eureka C.E.R.T. will also be assisting Firefighters in this lifesaving effort.
Firefighters and CERT team members will be going door to door on certain streets in Eureka. They will be asking each homeowner if their smoke detector is working. Firefighters will ask to come in and check and inspect the smoke detectors. If a new battery is needed, one will be installed. If the home does not have a working smoke detector, a new one will be installed for free.
Smoke Detectors have been donated by Tech Electronics.
The following Neighborhoods and Streets will be visited by Firefighters:
Thunder Ridge Rd., Thunder Creek, Thunder Spring, Thunder Valley, Thunder Mountain, and Thunder Hill
This is the Thirteenth Smoke Detector Day held in the Eureka Fire District.
To date we have visited over 1300 homes, installed 333 smoke detectors, and given away or installed 454 batteries.
Media representatives are welcome and invited to this annual event. Prior arrangements would help with media representatives.
The Eureka Fire Protection District, 1999 Missouri Fire Department of the Year, serves the Communities of Eureka, Wildwood, Allenton, Hoene Springs, Crescent, Southwest St. Louis County, and Northern Jefferson County
