Firefighters visited more than two dozen homes on Tuesday to ensure they had working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Another 30 on the list this week. The project is a partnership between the city of North Adams and the Western Massachusetts chapter of the American Red Cross' national Home Fire Preparedness Campaign. "We are thrilled that the North Adams Fire Department has partnered with us again this year to bring the Home Fire Campaign to town," said Mary Nathan, disaster program manager for the Western Mass chapter. "Their firefighters along with Red Cross volunteers expect to install smoke alarms in 60-plus homes in North Adams this week." Nathan says fires account for seven fatalities a day in the United States, often in homes without working smoke alarms.
