  • MAHLE donates smoke alarms to Hills firefighters
    Posted On: Nov 308, 2016

    MAHLE Industries Inc. has donated several dozen smoke alarms to the Farmington Hills Fire Department to help firefighters increase fire safety awareness and, ultimately, save lives.

    The donated smoke alarms are lithium battery-operated and have a 10-year life span, the type recommended by the fire department.

    MAHLE, a German automotive supplier with North American headquarters in Farmington Hills, created this initiative to recognize Fire Prevention Month.

    “MAHLE has a strong commitment to the health and safety of our employees,” said Annie Kushner, MAHLE’s Environmental Health and Safety coordinator.  “Donating the smoke alarms gave us the opportunity to partner with the fire department and extend that commitment to our neighbors.”

    The theme for Fire Prevention Week 2016 was “Don’t Wait: Check the Date!”  If you do not have the recommended 10-year lithium battery-operated type of smoke alarm, fire department officials remind you to test your smoke alarms monthly and replace the batteries twice per year.

    According to the National Fire Protection Association, a person is twice as likely to die in a home fire where there are no working smoke alarms.  In fires where smoke alarms did not operate, 46 percent had missing or disconnected batteries; dead batteries account for 24 percent of smoke alarm failures.

    “With help from businesses like MAHLE, we can reach our goal of ensuring that every home in Farmington Hills has working smoke alarms,” Farmington Hills Fire Marshal Jason Olszewski said.  “If the unfortunate day ever comes when you have a fire in your home, a working smoke alarm will help you and your family get out safely and reunite at your designated meeting place.”

    Homeowners who need help installing a smoke alarm or who would like details about the free smoke alarm installation program can contact the Farmington Hills Fire Prevention Division at 248-871-2820.
