A successful smoke alarm installation requires more than just installing
smoke alarms. The key to a well-run program is planning ahead and
forming a committee of community leaders.
Start by identifying organizations that should be part of your team. You’ll
probably want to start with the local fire department, including the local
fire chief, head of the firefighters union, or the leader of the volunteer
firefighter’s association. You’ll also want to involve local safety advocates,
community organizations and businesses. Remember, the more diverse
the group of institutions you include in the planning process, the better
chance you’ll have of reaching local residents and conducting a successful
installation project.
