SAFE Guilford supports our local fire departments by providing smoke alarms for distribution to Guilford County residents who need them. You may receive a smoke alarm if you own your home, and are: 
          low-income, or
          handicapped/disabled, or
          age 65 or older
For more information, please contact your local fire department.

PLEASE NOTE:  Landlords are responsible, by law, to provide smoke alarms for rental properties. If your landlord is incompliant despite a request, please contact your local fire department or city/county building inspectors.
