Minneapolis Firefighters Install Smoke Detectors

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Firefighters from the Minneapolis Fire Department will be out again Saturday installing smoke detectors in single-family homes on the north side of Minneapolis.

Last Saturday, firefighters installed over 400 smoke detectors. They also are scheduled to install more detectors next Saturday.

The firefighters are members of Firefighters Local 82 and the Minneapolis African-American Professional Firefighter Association.

The Minneapolis Fire Department says the smoke detector program is in keeping with its public service mission.
