Free Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Each year in America, unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning claims more than 500 lives and sends another 15,200 people to hospital emergency rooms for treatment. CO gas can come from several sources: gas-fired appliances, charcoal grills, wood-burning furnaces or fireplaces and motor vehicles.

The Salt Lake City Police Department and the Salt Lake City Fire Department are offering free smoke/carbon monoxide alarms to residents of Salt Lake City. The Police and Fire Departments received funding for these items through a grant from State Farm Insurance.  Salt Lake City residents are encouraged to attend community council meetings where the free alarms will be made available. Community council meeting agendas can be found by clicking on the following link: http://www.slcgov.com/citizen/comm_councils/mins&agendas.htm

The free alarms can also be acquired by contacting one of the following individuals in the SLCPD Community Intelligence Unit.
