HOME FIRE SAFETY VISITS

SVFD offers free smoke alarm installations to all homeowners in our service area. In as little as 30 minutes, we’ll evaluate current fire safety conditions in your home including smoke alarms, fire hazards, carbon monoxide (CO) detectors and more.
We’ll install free* smoke alarms (if needed) including alarms for the hearing impaired. You’ll receive important home fire safety information to build your knowledge, reduce your risk and feel safer in your own home!
Smoke alarm installations are scheduled twice a month during two time slots. Be sure to register for a day and time slot when you’ll be home and ready to welcome our SVFD personnel for the safety visit! Reservations are taken via phone (509-892-4153) or via our website.
*Smoke alarms funded through the Washington State Association of Fire Marshals, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and community donations.
