McKeesport firefighters are doing their part to observe National Fire Prevention Week.
McKeesport fire Chief Jeffrey Tomovcsik announced this week that the fire department is partnering with the American Red Cross to ensure city residents have smoke detectors in their homes.
“If you live in McKeesport, you can have your fire department come install smoke alarms in your home at no charge to you,” Tomovcsik said, adding that firefighters will “share fire safety tips to help your household better prepare to deal with home fires.”
“Smoke alarms save lives,” the chief said. “More lives are lost every year to home fires than to all major disasters.”
