Delmarva Power is recognizing Fire Prevention Week — Oct. 7-13 — by donating 2,900 smoke alarms to local communities through its partners at the Delaware State and Maryland State Fire Marshals’ Offices, along with 200 carbon monoxide detectors to the Wilmington Fire Department.
This is the 20th year Delmarva Power has donated these important life-saving devices as part of its efforts to join local emergency services personnel to help keep its customers and communities safe.
“Our dedication to our customers and communities goes beyond providing safe and reliable energy service,” said Gary Stockbridge, Delmarva Power region president. “Donations, such as these smoke alarms and CO detectors, allow us to build on our commitment to safety and improve the lives of residents in both Delaware and Maryland. We’re proud to be an active member in helping our communities stay safe all year long.”
