Operation Save A Life campaign

Carbon Monoxide awareness

The Center Groton Fire Department would like to take this opportunity to thank NEWS 8, Kidde and The Home Depot, for a program called Operation Save A Life, as a commitment to promote fire and carbon monoxide safety.

Fire fatalities are often preventable through education and the use of working smoke alarms, a message that will be one of the focal points when NEWS 8’s Operation Save A Life campaign kicked off on September 19, 2012.
Additionally, the campaign focuses on Carbon Monoxide awareness. You cannot see, smell or taste carbon monoxide. The only safe way to detect this poisonous gas is with a working carbon monoxide detector. And as part of the campaign, Operation Save A Life, along with The Home Depot, will be donating Kidde-brand smoke alarms to participating fire departments throughout the State of Connecticut.

The members of the Center Groton Fire Department and Center Groton Fire District are very grateful for the generous donation of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors from News 8, Kidde and Home Depot. These devices will be distributed within the Center Groton Fire District for those residences who do not have a working smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detector. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Center Groton Fire Department Members only one request with this offer. We would like for our residences to DONATE “NON-PERISHABLE” items to help those less fortunate within our DISTRICT. If you have any questions please call the Center Groton Fire Department at (860) 445-5775 or email the Fire Chief Derek Fauntleroy at Chief@centergrotonfire.org

Thank you very much for the Center Groton Fire Department!!
