Statewide Smoke Alarm Installation Blitz
October 19 - October 25
Illinois fire service, join Camp I Am Me and the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal for the second-annual Be Alarmed! Smoke Alarm Installation Statewide Blitz. Join hundreds of departments from across the state to educate residents on the dangers of fire in the home and to ensure there are working smoke alarms properly installed within your community – and what better time than during National Fire Prevention Month.
Active Be Alarmed! departments simply need to acknowledge they will participate in installing alarms the week of October 19th by completing the form below. Departments not currently enrolled in the Be Alarmed! Program can also complete the form, but will need to register to become an active member of the program before alarms can be distributed.
Bulk amounts of alarms will be delivered to participating departments based on the size and scope of the department’s blitz. Camp I Am Me staff will work with departments to ensure appropriate amounts of supplies are received prior to October 19th. Alarms received through this specific request are expected to be installed during the October 19-25, 2025 timeframe to the best of the department’s abilities. Statewide data will be provided to participating departments upon the conclusion of the blitz week.
