Help Save Lives! Atbatt Teams Up with Moorland Fire Department in Iowa to Prevent Home Fires
FACT: “96 percent of American homes have at least one smoke alarm, 19 percent of those detectors are not working, mostly due to missing or dead batteries.”
Firefighters across the United States are making an extra effort this week (if that’s even possible) to make sure their communities are adequately prepared to prevent home fires and the potential for damage and loss of life that accompany them. Truth be told, this is really a part of the everyday duties of our nation’s great firefighters. But with this being National Fire Prevention Week, a concerted push is taking place to reduce the tragedies that happen each and every year.
The Moorland Fire Department in Iowa is among the organizations who are on the front lines of fire prevention. This week, the firefighters in Moorland are taking to the streets in their neighborhood to raise awareness and make sure their fellow citizens are properly armed with functioning smoke detectors.
As part of our 9v Smoke Detector Battery campaign, Atbatt.com is very proud to be working with the Moorland Fire Department in this cause. To help them in their efforts, we’re donating 20 9v batteries to be installed in the homes and apartments of those in need. However…
