SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Fire Department is appealing to the public to donate smoke alarms.
SAFD officials said due to recent fire fatalities, the department is receiving a large amount of requests for smoke alarm installs.
All donated smoke alarms must be new and in original packaging.
Donations can be made from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at all SAFD Fire Stations, except for Station 23 at San Antonio International Airport, where donations will not be accepted.
Residents who cannot afford smoke alarms, are homebound or have issues accessing or installing smoke alarms can call 211 or go online at firesafesa.com to get a free one installed.
