The purpose of the Smoke Alarm Program for Chesterfield residents is to ensure a minimum of one working smoke alarm exists on each occupied level of a home. If smoke alarms are needed at your home, Chesterfield Fire and EMS will provide and install them at no charge.
Fire and EMS personnel are not able to repair or replace hardwired smoke alarms. A certified electrician will be needed for hardwired smoke alarms. A battery-powered smoke alarm can be installed to provide temporary protection.
