FD Service Programs
To address the growing concern of fire safety, the Fire Department has created and implemented several aggressive proactive community service programs:

Smoke Alarm Program	Home Inspection Program
Early warning by smoke alarms have been credited with saving thousands of lives and property. This program, funded through grant monies received from the CDC Injury Prevention Section, allows us to provide free smoke alarms to citizens of East Point.	Upon request, members of the Fire Department will complete a walk-through inspection of an individuals residence pointing out any fire safety concerns such as frayed electrical cords, items placed too close to water heaters, the need for smoke alarms, etc.
