Some of the 600 combination smoke and fire alarms that were donated to the London Fire Department by Enbridge Gas on Wednesday.During Wednesday’s donation unveiling, fire department officials said a portion of the alarms would be given to St. Leonard’s Community Services’ Project Home, a local program that serves people who are either newly housed or experiencing homelessness.
The combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms will take a weight off the shoulders for Project Home participants, who Sonnenberg says may have more pressing priorities than keeping their alarms in check. “Especially because they may not have the financial resources to be purchasing these items,” Sonnenberg added.
