Smoke Detector Giveaway

The importance of smoke detectors comes into focus over the weekend with a joint-effort in the Osage Beach area being considered a big success. The Community Foundation of the Lake was joined by Farmers Insurance, several Lake Area fire districts, search and rescue squads and the HyVee store in teaming up for a smoke detector giveaway. Chris Wagner, with Farmers and the Community Foundation of the Lake, says there were two main purposes for the effort…

Five or six-hundred of the twelve-hundred smoke detectors were given away at no charge with plans to do another giveaway in the near future in the Camdenton area or somewhere along the west side. In the meantime, Wagner also stressed that the many fire departments in the Lake Area are willing to take time to inspect your home, or business, for the proper placement and operation of the smoke detectors you have set up.
