DFB SMOKE ALARM 47
PROGRAMME

In 2023, in conjunction with the National
Directorate for Fire & Emergency Management,
we received smoke alarms for distribution
to communities to promote the use of
smoke alarms in homes. With the help of
our partnerships in communities throughout
Dublin, 2970 of these smoke alarms were
delivered to community groups and people in
need of an alarm. This year we engaged with
more than 48 different groups across County
Dublin to distribute the smoke alarms into the
heart of communities. This year the NDFEM
also made available 50 hard of hearing smoke
detectors sets. We arranged a very successful
training session organised in conjunction with
EI Electronic Ireland out in the OBI in November,
with representatives from Alone, Age Action,
Chime-deafness Advocacy Group and South
Dublin County Partnership. It was very
beneficial to all. These hard of hearing smoke
alarm units were distributed and installed.
