Smoke Detector Program
The Mayor’s Office has announced that city residents can request a free smoke detector to be installed in their home, free of charge, by calling 311. 311 will send the information to the appropriate zone and have a firefighter come to the residence. Installation takes approximately 15 minutes. All city homeowners and renters are eligible for the program. The smoke detectors contain lithium batteries that will last at least 10 years.
This Fire Safety Initiative is the result of a partnership between the Mayor’s Office and Pittsburgh Firefighters Local No. 1 as a proactive and preventative measure to keeping our citizens and neighborhoods safe.
