This year, as you gather with loved ones to cook a delicious holiday meal, having a working smoke detector in your home is essential. The City of Moreno Valley’s S.A.F.E.R. (Smoke Alarms & Fire Education Resources) program gives out one free smoke alarm and one free carbon monoxide detector to Moreno Valley families in need.

 

Residents can stop by City Hall at 14177 Frederick Street during business hours and receive a free Fire Safety Pack with one smoke alarm and one carbon monoxide alarm. Please note that proof of Moreno Valley residency is required. 

 

The City also offers a $50 cash rebate for residents who have already recently purchased their own alarms. Just bring your receipt or proof of purchase with you to City Hall.

 

Stay safer during the holidays! Visit moval.org/safer for more info.
