Free Pizza For Smoke Detectors In Little Rock
October 17, 2011
Last Thursday, a chain of pizza restaurants in Little Rock, Arkansas, were promoting fire safety month by partnering with the Little Rock Fire Department. Fox 16 News says that the two were giving away free pizzas to customers with working fire alarms in their homes.
Customers that placed delivery orders with a franchise of Domino’s Pizza Company were shocked when firefighters in one of the company engines pulled up at their doorstep to deliver the pizza. If the home had working fire alarms, the pizza was on the house, if not, customers had to pay up.
Firefighters say the goal of the campaign was to let homeowners know that having smoke detectors in the home can save lives. One driver stated, “We try to keep families safe. We try to keep kids safe. A lot of homes don’t have that surprisingly.”
The Home Safety Council offers several tips for keeping your family safe from fires:
- Keep flammable objects away from a stove range.
- Store matches and lighters in a locked cabinet.
- Keep space heaters at least three feet from other objects.
- Always unplug electrical items when not in use.
- Douse cigarette butts with water to fully extinguish.
- Extinguish candles when not in the same room.
- Create a fire escape plan for your house that all family members know.
