Riverview Fire Department has joined the MI Prevention statewide fire safety campaign through the State Fire Marshal, the Bureau of Fire Services and Michigan’s fire safety organizations to reduce the high number of fire deaths, injuries and property loss in Michigan. In order to protect the health and safety of high-risk populations in downriver and other targeted areas, the Riverview Fire Department is participating in MI Prevention by installing smoke alarms in homes free of charge and educating consumers on safety practices.
“Having working smoke alarms in your home and making fire safety a constant priority are the best ways to prevent fires before they start, and stop fire-related deaths and injuries,” said Fire Chief Ron Lammers. “The lives of all Michiganders depend on fire safety, education and awareness.”
