Smoke detectors save lives and there should be one on every level of every home and in every apartment,” stated Lisa Epps-Cuda, Fire Inspector with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire Prevention. Ms. Epps-Cuda was invited to speak by Christina Zern, HR Manager, who chairs the CHHC Safety Committee.
In her 22 years of service with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire Prevention, Ms. Epps- Cuda explained that when a fire occurs, there is only a short window of opportunity to escape. That is why the City of Pittsburgh is offering free smoke detectors to city residents. There is a waiting list and city residents should call 311 to reserve their units that would include free installation. Applications can be taken by phone. Fire departments in some surrounding areas may be doing the same.
