The University Fire Department and the American Red Cross are teaming up this weekend to install smoke detectors in the Gold Rush Estates. The idea to replace smoke detectors in the neighborhood was introduced by a University Fire Department student and Lieutenant Colin Field as a requirement for a project management class form a master's degree. Sound the Alarm in the Gold Rush Estates neighborhood in Fairbanks is part of the nationwide Red Cross effort to help reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by home fires. The goal is to install 150 free smoke alarms alongside the University Fire Department on Saturday, May 18, 2019. "I had to choose a medium to large project and this took place shortly after we had a fatal fire in the Gold Rush Estates Park. So I thought it was a really great opportunity give back to the community and solve a problem," said Field.
