DeKalb County offers free smoke and CO alarms to residents
Summary
DeKalb County Fire Rescue announced a free program to install smoke alarms—and, when available, combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors—for residents of single-family homes and condominiums. Residents are asked to register via the on-screen QR code or link.
DeKalb County Fire Rescue announced a no-cost smoke alarm installation program for county residents living in single-family homes and condominiums.
The announcement said the program will install as many smoke alarms as needed at eligible homes and, subject to availability, will provide combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Residents were directed to register using an on-screen QR code or the link shown during the broadcast.
Winter months increase the risk of fires from heating systems, candles and chimneys, the segment said, and county fire officials framed the program as a preventative safety measure. The broadcast did not provide a phone number or an explicit web address beyond the QR code and the on-screen registration prompt.
The program was presented as county-operated by DeKalb County Fire Rescue in the segment. No eligibility fine print—such as income limits, scheduling windows, or expected installation timelines—was provided in the announcement. Residents seeking the program are advised to use the QR code shown in the segment or consult the county’s official channels for details.
