The community Smoke Alarm Scheme is providing 10-year-battery operated smoke alarms to vulnerable homes in the county where there are currently no smoke alarms installed.
Leitrim County Council is asking voluntary groups / volunteers and others who visit people in vulnerable households, to identify homes where there are no smoke alarms (for example; the elderly, people with disabilities, lone parents and unemployed persons) and / or to install alarms.
Applications are also welcome from individual households who currently have no smoke alarms and are in a position to install the alarms themselves.
Smoke alarms will be provided to voluntary groups / volunteers / individuals that have completed an application form.
Priority will be given to households most in need, given the household circumstances and their geographical distance from the nearest fire station.
The voluntary groups / volunteers / individuals will be required to install these alarms. All unused alarms must be returned to Leitrim County Council.
A separate application form must be completed in relation to each household proposed to receive a smoke alarm.
