Smoke Alarm Saturday

What We Do

Smoke Alarm Saturday is a one-day, North Carolina Department of Insurance initiative out of the Office of the State Fire Marshal, that aims to provide free smoke alarms to State residents who need them.  The local county Fire Marshal and/or local fire department(s) apply for the Smoke Alarm Saturday Grant annually. After acceptance of the grant, each fire department involved in the initiative receives:

  • Up to 54 smoke alarms
  • Home survey form
  • Waiver Form
  • Educational Materials
  • Door Hangers
  • Promotional Items
  • Sample press advisory (to promote the event)

Participating fire department(s) on the first Saturday in June, canvass their local area to educate and bring awareness on the importance of having working smoke detectors in their home. The fire department(s) will install smoke detectors as needed. 

Who We Serve

All Lincoln County residents, especially those without working smoke alarms in their home.

How We Impact

The Smoke Alarm initiative hopes to increase the number of working smoke alarms in Lincoln County homes and decrease the number of injuries and casualties from fire related calls. Educational materials on fire prevention and safety are also distributed to residents whether they receive a smoke alarm or not. 

COVID Impact 2020
