The Andalusia Fire Department has 100 smoke alarms available free for residences that do not have one.

Chief Russell McGlamory said Wednesday that the smoke alarms were made available through a grant received by the Alabama Fire College.

“If you don’t have a smoke alarm, you can just give us a call at 222-1121,” McGlamory said. Applications also are available at the fire station, located on Church Street, or from The Star-News’ web site.

Firefighters will actually install the alarms to ensure that they work properly, he said.

Those who receive the alarms will be asked to sign a liability waiver.

McGlamory said there is a possibility more will be available, based on the number of requests received.
