DELAWARE – The First State is launching its life-saving initiative to get accessible fire and carbon monoxide alarm devices to Delaware’s deaf and hard-of-hearing households.
Officials from the Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office say the program will provide the free equipment to eligible Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Late-Deafened, and DeafBlind Delawareans who may not perceive standard auditory alarms.
They say the program will ensure households get the appropriate visual and/or tactile alerting devices needed to keep people safe.
