Smoke detectors reduce deaths via fire by 50%, according to the Red Cross.

YORKANA, Pa. — The Yorkana Borough Fire Department went into the community Monday not to extinguish, but to educate.

The campaign was created by Deputy Fire Chief Don Hopple, who was inspired by recent house fires in the area, including ain York that killed three people. Investigators later determined that there were no working smoke detectors in the home. A briefing for residents interested in the free smoke detectors will be held Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at the Yorkana Fire Department, with installations taking place afterward. Hopple says that even if one fire death is prevented by the campaign, it will be worth it.
