Do you have a smoke detector? Do you know a township resident that needs one?
If so, call 570-842-8336 or 570-842-0457
The Twp. Fire Dept. has teamed up with our Supervisors to provide our residents with smoke detectors. The Fire Dept. is also available to install them in your home if you need assistance. If you already have smoke detectors, check your batteries! An easy way to remember to change your batteries is to change them when you change your clocks.
