The SAFE Society and the Salmon Arm Fire Department don’t want anyone to go without a smoke alarm.

To help achieve that goal, the SAFE Society is partnering with the fire department over the next few weeks to give away smoke alarms at its Human Connection Hub. The hub is located at 258 Shuswap St. NE, down from the multi-coloured Innovation Centre, and is open Mondays and Wednesdays, 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

“It’s a great community collaboration during Fire Prevention Week,” remarked Jane Shirley, executive director of the SAFE Society.

Kits are also available through the Salmon Arm Fire Department by emailing firesmart@salmonarm.ca or by phoning 250-803-4067.
