During this effort, the SFD members knock on each and every door to check for working smoke alarms in homes, replace faulty alarms, and replace the batteries to the alarms as needed. This is a free service to City of Salisbury residents provided by the SFD.Over the past two days the SFD has already directly knocked on a total of 282 homes, replacing 7% of the existing smoke alarms and 9% of the existing batteries in the homes visited.
"This program is only on day two and has already become a huge success," said Inspections Lieutenant Eric Cramer.

Awesome, great work SFD.
Good job SFD!!! You get good publicity for this type of service!! Everyone thinks you should be busy while on the clock...they just don't know the business.
It sounds like a good program, but I do wonder if this is just for the downtrodden neighborhoods? If the city is going to continue this, shouldn't they spread the proverbial wealth to all city neighborhoods and taxpayers? I'm guessing of course not.
Nice job SFD Thank You
Great job...but, aren't we all supposed to be using the new (very expensive) ones with permanent batteries that last for 8 or so years? If so, are they distributing those models, or just replacing batteries in the old ones that we are not supposed to use anymore?
What a bunch of sheeple, to let city employees into your home under the guise of this safety program.
Wonder when code and compliance and the popo will be stopping in next -after the firemen get done reporting their findings.
Dumb people.
They're only there to look for signs of drug use, sales, and stolen merchandise. They couldn't give a crap if your smoke detector has a good battery in it, but they could easily bug it!
This is a good thing the city is doing and I live in one of those neighborhoods. In response to 9:23 our neighborhoods are 95% rentals and multi people crammed in houses they and their landlords do not take care of the properties. Why should the city clean up homes where they can afford and care about their own neighborhoods. We did not choose to live in these areas we just cannot afford to leave, as our homes are paid for and are of little value to move somewhere else. The decisions we made over 40 years ago we cannot change now. Each block may have only 1 home owner doing all they can. Code enforce..ment doesn't check the number of people per household
