From a CHT Homeowner…
“Thank you for suggesting I reach out to the Chapel Hill fire department for help with changing out my smoke alarms! What a great community resource!
“Hugh Miles (Community Risk Reduction Coordinator for Chapel Hill FD, pictured here) was so helpful. They said there are grants available for those who don’t have smoke alarms (and possibly will offer them to those who need updating). Feel free to share this info with others who may need it!”
