Smoke Alarm Service Project

Feb 16 – Two of our Rotarians and our Netherlands exchange student worked with additional volunteers, the Arizona Burns Foundation and the Tempe Fire Department on Saturday to install smoke alarms in trailers in a low-income area of Tempe.   Our club aims for an average of one “hands on” service project per month.  Sorry no picture.  This is the 4th or 5th year our members have helped install smoke alarms in dangerous housing in Tempe or Scottsdale.  In 2009 one of “our” alarms in Tempe was credited with warning a family to evacuate their home before becoming incapacitated from smoke due to a fire.
