Smoke Detector Blitz a Huge Success

The Ellettsville Chamber teamed up with the Ellettsville Fire Department and the Red Cross for the Smoke Detector Blitz last week. Firefighters installed 22 smoke alarms and made at least 38 people safer! The Red Cross coordinated the event and provided free smoke alarms. We want to thank the volunteers from The Burton Group, Smithville, and the Ellettsville Town Council, who knocked on doors to ensure our community's safety.
