Every year, Calgary Firefighters visit Calgary homes to share important home safety information, inspect smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

When needed the CFD replaces alarm batteries or replaces and installs new smoke alarms with the Calgary Fire Department Home Safety Program.

The Calgary Fire Department is committed to ensuring safe communities.
