Selected departments will receive free First Alert smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms along with educational materials—helping students learn fire safety by doing fire safety and impacting long-term community safety.
Fires and fire deaths continue to be prevalent and preventable, with surprising statistics further highlighting the importance of the Town/Gown project. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA):
"The NFPA further reports that in the fires where a smoke alarm was present, but did not operate, half of them had missing or disconnected batteries. But when a home does have working smoke alarms, it cuts the fatality risk in reported home fires in half," said Tarsila Wey, director of marketing for First Alert. "Smoke alarms are one of the easiest solutions to implement and most important home safety devices, and through the Town/Gown project, we're able to both educate communities about fire safety and install alarms in at-risk homes for a long-lasting impact."
To help address this national issue at the local level, fire departments, colleges and universities across the country are invited to apply to participate in the Town/Gown project. The entry period will open 12:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT) on June 18, 2019, and will end at 11:59 p.m. CDT on July 22, 2019. Twenty-five organizations will be selected to receive alarms and educational materials to distribute in their communities by having students work alongside firefighters doing home safety visits. Building on successes of the first two years, First Alert aims to donate and install thousands of alarms to increase the number of working smoke alarms in American homes and improve fire safety.

Town/Gown Project Teaches Fire Safety at Grassroots Level
"The collaboration between students, fire departments, universities and their surrounding communities builds an overall stronger, safer community," said Ed Comeau, founder of Campus Firewatch. "Teaching these students fire safety by doing fire safety is an important life skill that benefits not only the students, but those around them as well."
"The Town/Gown project is a truly unique volunteer opportunity where students get to work alongside fire safety professionals to help at-risk community members," said Gail Minger, president of the Michael H. Minger Foundation. "The students gain real-world knowledge about what they should—and shouldn't—do in regard to smoke and CO alarm placement and maintenance."
"Campus Firewatch and the Michael H. Minger Foundation are exceptional organizations that share our mission to increase fire safety awareness," said Wey. "They're invaluable partners in this project as we work to help protect families and their homes."
