Smoke detectors save lives!

Few people realize how quickly a fire could destroy our home and take our loved ones. Smoke detectors have saved the lives of many, by giving them enough time to react and escape. The United Way is giving away smoke detectors to homeowners who live in ZIP codes 66606, 66605, and 66608. There are 600 detectors, so they are being given away on a first-come, first-served basis. This is not an income level program— just a need. The smoke detectors are battery operated and have to be installed by trained volunteers. There is no limit or deadline, as long as the detectors are still available. Call Cale Herreman (383-7970 or oldtownnia@yahoo.com) for an application.
