Be Sure Your Smoke Detectors Have Working Batteries

During October, Addison firefighters will visit single-family dwelling homes to replace old smoke detector batteries with new ones. Addison Fire Department supplies the batteries and a ladder, if necessary. This program is intended for Addison residents who are unable to change their own batteries.

If you are able to change your own, please visit one of our fire stations, during business hours to pick up free batteries, while supplies last. 

For the safety of staff and the protection of your property, please understand that your smoke detector must be mounted NO HIGHER than 12 feet in order for us to access it. Our crews are available to conduct a brief Home Safety Survey for residents even if they don't need assistance changing their smoke detector batteries. These services are provided at no cost to residents.

Register here to request assistance with battery replacement or for a Home Safety Survey.
