While we maybe getting into a time of year where typically, home fires decrease – Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue Chief Mark Foulks said that fires still happen and residents should not let their guard down. Foulks said that one of the best tools in fighting fires is a smoke detector…
Smoke alarms are installed for free, thanks to Murfreesboro’s involvement in the “Get Alarm Tennessee” program through the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Foulks confirmed that they will install a smoke detector in every bedroom at no charge.
