Smoke detectors play a crucial role in safeguarding our residents. When a fire breaks out, every second counts. Having a working smoke detector can mean the difference between life and death.
A new smoke detector can cost anywhere from $8 to $50 but the value that it provides is immeasurable.
For Mentor residents who cannot afford to purchase a smoke detector, the Mentor Fire Department provides free ionization smoke detectors which can detect low-smoke fires faster than traditional photoelectric models.
The Mentor Fire Department goes a step further by offering free installation services for those who are unable to install smoke detectors themselves. Ensuring proper installation is crucial for effective fire safety.
