GVF&R reaches out to the community, often through Girdwood Elementary School, to promote home fire safety. The Fire Department will inspect the dwelling and determine if smoke and Carbon monoxide detectors exist, are they functional and in proper locations. The Department also inspects for safe egress routes. Often, these families have financial difficulties.
When deficiencies are found, GVF&R and Girdwood Rotarians, install the detectors and rope ladders and instruct the family on their operation and on emergency preparedness.
