Brooklyn, NY – Close to 50 families received smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors on Sunday, May 19. Working together with the UJO, the American
Red Cross volunteers installed the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
After several tragic fires a number of years ago, the UJO
started this initiative, to install smoke detectors together with Hatzolah and
Shomrim. Since then, hundreds of families have received the devices, and the program
has spread throughout the neighborhood.
This Sunday, the UJO installed the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
to the nearly fifty families who were on the waiting list. The UJO thanks the Red
Cross and its volunteers for another successful smoke and carbon monoxide
detector installation drive.
