Older Adults and Fire Safety

The St. Charles Fire Department has a Fire-Safe Seniors Program. This program helps you plan and implement fire safety interventions for you and your family. It includes:

  1. Home assessments to identify existing fire hazards and determine the need for smoke alarms.
  2. Smoke alarm installation to ensure participants' homes are adequately equipped with working smoke alarms.
  3. Education to provide in-person fire safety messages and tips to older adults, their family members and caregivers.
  4. Follow-up to determine if alarms are working, to assess any changes in the older adult's safety knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, and to see if any fires have occurred.
