Smoke detectors that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. Smoke detectors save lives. If there is a fire in the home, smoke spreads fast and the occupants need smoke detectors to give them time to get out. Having a working smoke detector cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire by half. Members of the Syracuse Fire Department will come install smoke detectors in 1 and 2 family dwellings.
