Smoke Detector Program

With the recent time change, it’s a good time now to check your smoke alarms. Local 2818 in coordination with the American Red Cross of Greater Columbus has a limited supply of smoke alarms that we can assist with installation of. We can also assist with replacing 9-volt batteries as well. Your smoke alarm should be tested monthly and replaced every month. To request an alarm, email local2818(at)gmail(dot)com .

Please note: this program is limited to battery powered alarms. We are not able to work on detectors that are wired into your home’s electrical system.
