In Case You Missed It

Last weeks presenter was Fire Chief Steve Dalbey about Fire Safety Awareness Month and what you can do to keep your business and home safe from fire.  Steve talked about the change in Iowa Law regarding smoke detector requirements and duel sensors.  Duel sensor smoke detectors have both ionization and photo electric sensors to detect smoke or fire.  These new smoke detectors could significantly reduce the loss of lives and property.  To find out more visit your local hardware store and ask for duel sensor smoke detectors.
