My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
Isaiah 32:18
March 10th.. time to “spring ahead” on your clocks. It is also time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. House fires cause on average 2620 deaths each year. Cooking is the #1 cause of house fires. Smoke inhalation is the main reason for death. Our local Red Cross has a program to assist with smoke alarms. Below is the information from their website:
IF YOU NEED A SMOKE ALARM Residents in South Florida who need assistance can visit
redcross.org/SFLsmokealarm to schedule an appointment for a free smoke alarm installation during the Red Cross Sound the Alarm campaign. During the home visits, Red Cross volunteers will also share information on the causes of home fires, how to prevent them, what to do if a fire starts and how to create an escape plan.
Don’t procrastinate! Contact them.
