BUCKS COUNTY — Sen. Frank Farry (R-6) announced today Kidde will host a home safety event for families in the community on Saturday, Aug. 29 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Middle Bucks Institute of Technology, located at 2740 York Rd. in Jamison.
Kidde — a trusted name in fire safety — is continuing its Cause for Alarm campaign, which combines fire and carbon monoxide (CO) safety education, smoke and CO alarm donations and community collaboration.
“I am grateful to Kidde for bringing this important initiative to my district and to help educate our community about fire safety,” said Farry. “As a fire chief and volunteer firefighter, I know firsthand how many households are not adequately prepared for a fire. Having working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and a family emergency plan can help save lives.”
“Fire and carbon monoxide emergencies can happen in any home, and that’s why education and preparedness are at the core of Kidde’s Cause for Alarm initiative. We’re grateful to Sen. Farry and the Warwick Fire Department for joining us, and we look forward to a fun, family-friendly day of safety education with the Middle Bucks community as we continue helping to make every home a safer home,” said Ivanette Bonilla, chief communication and government relations officer, Kidde.
Attendees will have the opportunity to refresh their fire and carbon monoxide safety knowledge, while enjoying a variety of family-friendly activities. Farry and Rep. Kristin Marcell (R-178) will join members of the Warwick Fire Department at the event.
Free smoke and CO alarms will be available to community members who need them. Children can also enjoy activities including a visit with Peppa Pig, a snow cone truck and more.
“We hope families throughout the community will join us for this fun, educational event and take important steps to help keep their homes and loved ones safe.” said Farry.
Limit one set of alarms per household. A signed Safety Pledge is required.
