Free Smoke Alarms For Nassau County Residents

As you all know, Daylight Savings Time ended on Sunday, November 2nd and citizens are always encouraged to use the time change as a reminder to check the batteries in your smoke detectors. Statistics show that having smoke detectors in your house cuts your chances of dying in a house fire in half. Additionally, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths result in homes without smoke alarms or in homes where the alarms are not working properly.

Below are some safety tips recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:
  • Install smoke detectors inside and outside of each bedroom
  • Install smoke detectors on each level of the home
  • Test smoke alarms at least once a month to insure they are working properly
  • People who are hard of hearing should install special alarms with strobe lights and bed shakers
  • Replace all smoke alarms every 10 years

Additionally, be sure that each member of your family understands the meaning of the alarm and how to evacuate safely. It is also a good idea to designate a meeting place outside of the home. Visit the National Fire Protection Association's website to build a fire escape plan for your family and to get tips on how to talk to your children about fire safety.

If you are in need of smoke detectors but cannot afford them, Nassau County Fire Rescue offers FREE smoke detectors to needy citizens in the unincorporated areas of the County. Simply fill out the attached application and return it to Nassau County Fire/Rescue Headquarters located at 96160 Nassau Place, Yulee, FL 32097. If accepted, Fire Inspector Jerry Marrison, will contact you to schedule a date and time for installation. For more information, you may reach Mr. Marrison at (904) 491-7525 or via e-mail at jmarrison@nassaucountyfl.com.

Hi we are in our 70’s and one of our smoke detectors keeps beeping. My husband tried to replace battery but can’t seem to get it right. We had a nice gentleman a few years ago from your department and he was kind enough to help put a few batteries in for us. Are u still offering this service. Thanks

Hi Ms. Whelton, I reached out to Nassau County Fire Rescue and they indicated they would be happy to send someone by to help you. Please give them a call at (904) 530-6600 and provide them with your address. I personally spoke with Chief Brady Rigdon (just in case they ask who you spoke with)
