“We’re going to knock on every door in the city over the next few years.”
Mark Killian, chief of the Williamsport Bureau of Fire, is a door-to-door “salesman.” But he is not peddling cheap kitchen knives or cure-all panaceas, and what he’s selling is the importance of preparedness and safety the smoke detectors are free.
Killian and the city fire department are giving away smoke detectors, free of charge, to city residents.
The fire department launched its S.A.F.E. (Smoke Alarms for Everyone) initiative on Saturday with the goal of ensuring the detectors are offered and installed in every home in the city.

Colerain Fire and EMS remind residents to check their smoke alarms By Lauren Minor | March 14, 2021 at 12:17 PM EDT - Updated March 15 at 6:09 PM
CINCINNATI (FOX19) - As we turn our clocks forward one hour, Colerain Fire and EMS say it is a good time to check your smoke alarms.
Fire officials say you should press the “test” button to see if your smoke alarm is working.
If it is more than ten years old, fire officials say you should consider replacing the detector because the sensor in the alarm becomes less sensitive over time. They recommended buying a smoke alarm with a 10-year lithium battery to avoid an annual battery replacement.
