(Juneau) The Juneau Fire Department has recently received a grant from Kwik Trip to start a smoke detector program. The program will offer one free smoke detector for every home in the City of Juneau. Chief Ed Weiss says all you need to do is call.
“It [would] be on our Facebook page, so you can contact through there,” says Weiss. “Or you can go through my contact. And along with that, you know, we’ll come and help get that set up. Along with that, we’ll also give you a checklist for homeowners to do a self-evaluation of your home if you’re fire safe.”
Weiss says the department is always trying to spread fire awareness around the city. He adds that something like this is very helpful.
“It really helps us out and Kwik Trip has helped us out quite a bit and even just during incidents they help supply food.”
Weiss says the department and the local Kwik Trip worked side by side and the convenience store company gave $250 to start the program.
