Free Smoke Detector Placement

Firefighters checking a smoke detectorFirefighters from the Greensboro Fire Department will routinely visit neighborhoods, reminding residents to check their smoke detectors and install new detectors upon request at no charge.

Smoke detectors should be tested weekly and their batteries changed twice a year. Residents should have one on every level of your home and outside every bedroom.

If you would like to have your smoke detectors checked or would like one installed and you live inside the Greensboro city limits, call our Community Services office at 574-4088 or click on the Smoke Detector Request Form. If you are a resident of Guilford County, call 641-3565.
