🔥 Why This Matters:
Smoke detectors save lives. They also help protect property by alerting you to smoke early—giving you and your family time to get out safely and call 911 so firefighters can respond sooner.
It would be tragic to lose a member of our community when a working smoke detector—installed free of charge—could have made the difference.
Please consider letting us help you. We’ll be in and out quickly, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your home is protected with a new, working smoke alarm.

👩🚒 Want to Volunteer?
We’re also looking for volunteers to join us on our walk!
If you’d like to participate in the walk or support the event, please call or email to sign up—bring a friend or neighbor along!

We will resume normal business hours on Wednesday, October 16 at 8:00AM!
🏍️ With the cooler fall temperatures upon us, more motorcycles are out on our roadways.
Over the past week in Cochise County, there have been two fatal motorcycle accidents, and we wanted to take a moment to remind both drivers and motorcyclists to share the road and stay alert.
Let’s all do our part to keep our roads safe — look twice, and save a life.
