Bryant Fire Dept. To Order Hearing Impaired Smoke Detectors
By Melissa Schroeder
BRYANT, AR — When your house catches fire…typically it’s the smoke alarm that alerts you of the danger, but not everyone can hear the noise.
That’s why the Bryant Fire Department will buy hearing impaired smoke detectors with the help of grant money.
The special detectors flash a bright light and are much louder.
The fire chief says with the grant money he’ll order seven of the safety devices next week.
He also received a couple hundred regular smoke detectors.
Chief JP Jordan said, “Smoke alarms by themselves…if you could do one thing for your family to increase your chances of coming out alive from a house fire, that’s the one thing.”
Anyone living in the city of Bryant, can pick up a smoke detector at the Bryant Fire Department.
It’s on a first come first serve basis.
