What does Emergency Management do?

Kansas State Fire Marshal Smoke Detector Program
Free smoke detectors to qualifying homes.
In September 2014, the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) implemented a statewide residential smoke alarm installation program as a fire prevention effort. “Saving the Lives of Kansans – One Home at a Time” allows trained volunteers to install smoke alarms in owner-occupied homes free of charge.
You are eligible to have a FREE smoke detector installed in your home if:
• You live in Kansas (must show proof of residency)
• You own the home you live in (not a rental property)
• You currently have no smoke detector in your home
Contact Emergency Management regarding this program.
