Wilmington firefighters knock on doors
Wilmington firefighters will take the fire safety message door-to-door.
Firefighters will be handing out fire prevention pamphlets and installing smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors as they go door-to-door on the city’s northeast side. The effort will focus on the community surrounding East 22nd Street and North Church Street.
The National Fire Prevention Association says one-third of home fire deaths happen in homes without smoke detectors.
