Our department exists to serve the citizens of Georgetown in all aspects a safety. We offer several special safety programs geared to specific community and age groups.
Our most popular program is our free smoke detector program. Because we believe so deeply in the power of an early warning device for fire that we went to City Council in 1991 to secure funds to place 5000 smoke detectors in Georgetown Homes. Since then we’ve installed or replaced more than 10,000 smoke detectors in the City.
Our Smoke Detector program is available to any City Resident who live in their own home and is financially, physically, or mentally challenged. Call our office (545-4200) to have one installed. Please note that we cannot install more than one per household and you must own your home. If you do not own your home notify your landlord. By City Ordinance, the landlord is responsible to insure a detector has been installed, the renter must maintain it.
Our other services include Public Fire Safety Education programs geared specifically to school age children, Medical Services that include Pre-Hospital Emergency Patient Care in support of the Georgetown County Emergency Medical Service. |
