Chattanooga firefighters, along with staff and volunteers with the American Red Cross, will distribute free smoke alarms and batteries on Saturday, in the Washington Hills subdivision. This event will happen, rain or shine.
The operation will originate from the parking lot of the Gujarati Samaj of East Tennessee, at 7717 Canyon Drive, off Bonny Oaks. This event will start at 10 a.m. and is expected to last about two hours.
This event coincides with the weekend when you change your clocks back one hour to Eastern Standard Time before you go to bed on Saturday. The Chattanooga Fire Department encourages everyone to change the batteries in their smoke alarms at least once each year. An easy way to remember is to change these batteries when you change your clocks.
