LUBBOCK, Texas (NEWS RELEASE FROM LFR) – Lubbock Fire Rescue (LFR), in partnership with the American Red Cross Panhandle Plains Chapter, is proud to announce the launch of Operation Home Safe, a citywide campaign providing free smoke alarms and installation services to residents across Lubbock.
Through this initiative, citizens can receive smoke alarms at no cost simply by signing up at LubbockFireRescue.com. Once registered, either Lubbock Fire Rescue crews or American Red Cross volunteers will contact residents directly to schedule a convenient installation time.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), working smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire by more than 50 percent. Despite this, nearly three out of five home fire deaths occur in properties without working smoke alarms.
The installation & sign-up process is quick, easy, and completely free to residents. Teams will ensure alarms are properly placed and provide information on maintaining them for long-term effectiveness.
Lubbock Fire Rescue encourages all residents to take advantage of this program and help make Lubbock a safer community for everyone.
