MARIETTA – In response to a recent fire in the Cannon Gates Crossing Neighborhood, the Marietta Fire Department will conduct a Smoke Alarm Campaign this Friday, January 17th from 12:00 – 2:00 pm.

As part of this initiative, Marietta firefighters will go door to door to install free smoke alarms in the area of Heritage Drive and Sentinel Drive. Additionally, the Marietta Fire Department will be able to inspect and test the current smoke alarms you may have, install carbon monoxide alarms where applicable, and offer other home safety advice.

Follow the City of Marietta on social media to learn Marietta Fire’s next stop because there could be a Smoke Alarm Campaign in your neighborhood! Until then, Marietta Fire Department offers free home safety visits to city residents. Visit the “Be MFD Safe” to learn more.
