CBRM Fire and Emergency Services is launching a Free Smoke Alarm Installation Program to ensure residents have working smoke alarms in their homes, while also providing fire safety education.

Residents can now request a free smoke alarm by completing a short online form.

To ensure the program benefits as many residents as possible, one smoke alarm will be provided per floor with bedrooms. For example, if you have two bedrooms on the same floor, you’ll receive one alarm. If bedrooms are on two different floors, you’ll receive two alarms.

Due to limited supply, smoke alarms will be distributed based on need and in the order requests are received. The deadline to apply is October 31, 2025, or while supplies last.

Learn more about the program and apply at www.cbrm.ns.ca/smoke-alarm-installation-program.html

What’s on your plate could be shaping your mood, focus, and energy.

Join renowned Canadian mental health pioneer Dr. Bonnie Kaplan for The Better Brain Diet: Eating for Mental Health & Peak Performance webinar.

Learn how the food you eat can help reduce stress, sharpen focus, and boost resilience, and walk away with simple, practical tips you can use right away.
