FIRST GRADER                                    SMOKE ALARM PROGRAM

Since 1998, the Lewiston Fire Department has distributed smoke alarms to all Lewiston First Grade and Head Start students toward the end of each year.  Smoke alarms have been lifesavers when installed properly and maintained.  

The Lewiston Fire Department wants to “spread the word” that smoke alarms should be installed in every sleeping room of a residence.  The important factor is that many people sleep with their doors closed, and with no smoke alarm in the sleeping room, early detection in case of fire will not occur.
