Free Smoke Alarm Installation Available for Dyer Residents in Fire Safety Initiative

The Dyer Fire Department, with the State Fire Marshal’s office, is launching a new initiative to install free smoke alarms in the local community. This is part of a statewide effort to increase fire safety awareness in Tennessee. State Fire Marshal Julie Mix McPeak stressed the need for working smoke alarms and a practiced fire escape plan in every home, as these can save lives.

The smoke alarms are free, but the fire department must install them when available. Dyer Fire Chief Brandon Rudd supports the program, noting the vital role of smoke alarms in alerting residents to evacuate safely during a fire.

Residents can request a smoke alarm installation by filling out an online form or calling the Dyer City Hall. After a request, a Dyer Fire Department member will contact them to schedule the installation.

The fire department also shared fire safety tips. These include staying in the kitchen while cooking, keeping matches and lighters away from children, keeping space heaters away from flammable items, and making sure all smoking materials are fully extinguished before disposal.

For more fire safety information, residents can visit the State Fire Marshal’s Office Get Alarmed Program website. This initiative by the Dyer Fire Department and the State Fire Marshal’s office is a step to improve community safety and reduce fire-related incidents.
