Ridgecrest and Parkwood residents: Do you want a free, installed smoke alarm Saturday?

Terrific offer from Shoreline Fire. If you live in the Parkwood or Ridgecrest neighborhood AND you click the link to sign up, fire fighters will install a free smoke alarm in your house.

Shoreline Fire is teaming up with American Red Cross on Saturday to install free smoke alarms in Shoreline homes, starting with these two neighborhoods.

They seem to think it's easier to give you a smoke alarm than to rescue you and your pets from a burning house.

And the Red Cross appears to believe that a smoke alarm is cheaper than three nights in a motel and blankets after you have been burnt out of your house.

If you don't sign up, you might be lucky enough to be home when they knock on your door.

Sign up - I want to hear that they got so many contacts they ran out of alarms and had to restock!
