STR participated with the other two Smith County Rotary Clubs to provide a combined donation of $6,000 for the purchase of smoke alarms including some with flashing strobe lights for hearing-impaired people. (BTW, if you wear a hearing aid, take if off and have someone test your smoke alarm – if you don’t hear it, consider purchasing a strobe smoke alarm!).
As part of our education about the necessity of smoke alarms, we learned where to place them and why, how to select the best smoke alarm for our own homes and what not to do. I know at my house, all smoke alarms, including the hard-wired ones, will be replaced over the Thanksgiving holidays.
