Residents in the Kentland-Palmer Park communities were visited by firefighters knocking on their door Wednesday morning, September 19. It was not for an emergency, it was to help prevent an emergency!!! The Kentland-Palmer Park Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative (TNI) Team conducted door-to-door fire safety inspections within the community. This effort was supported by recruit firefighters that are currently attending the Fire/EMS Department’s Training Academy, volunteer firefighters from the Kentland Fire/EMS Station #833, Departmental of Environmental Resources and County Executives Office. Dozens of homes were inspected with smoke alarms either refreshed by a new battery or a new one installed. Some homes were also provided with a carbon monoxide alarm and every home received fire safety and additional handout materials aimed at improving their communities.
