Milford Community Fire Department is pleased to have been awarded a FEMA Fire Prevention and Safety Grant of $ 55,234.17 grant to install smoke/carbon monoxide detectors in targeted, residential areas of the city over the next two years. The fire department will contribute an additional 5% to complete the $ 57,995.88 project.
Said Fire Chief Mark Baird: “This FEMA grant gives us the opportunity to put long-life, combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in homes that may not be equipped with these life-saving devices, or have out-of-date detectors. Too many people, including two in eastern Cincinnati communities recently, are being seriously injured or killed in situations where working detectors likely would have made a difference.”
The program roll-out will be in early-2023.
