Seven times a day, someone in the United States dies in a fire. In January, four children perished in an Opelika mobile home fire, and one is still recovering in the hospital.
With the memory of these Opelika children heavy on their hearts, the Opelika Fire Department is teaming up with the Red Cross to try to save lives by visiting homes and installing free smoke detectors.
It takes Opelika firefighters about two minutes to install a smoke detector. A quick, easy and now free solution that can provide a lifetime of safety for your family.
