<\/p>\nJACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Jacksonville firefighters returned to a neighborhood Saturday where a month ago a family ripped through a townhome, killed three children and tore apart a family.<\/p>\n
Crews came back the Windergate neighborhood in Mandarin to help make homes safer, knocking on more than 250 doors and installing more than 150 smoke alarms.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t change what happened here,\u201d the post on Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department\u2019s website read. \u201cBut every alarm installed today means one more family will get the warning they need, when they need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n
