Free Smoke Detectors Are Available


The City of Lauderhill provides free battery operated smoke detectors to single family and duplex occupancies.

The Florida Fire Prevention Code requires single station 110 volt smoke detectors with a standby battery for multi-family occupancies. This requirement became code in 1989 and was enforced throughout the City. Therefore, the city does not provide those types of detectors. Residents who live in multi-family occupancies should already have the required detector.

For single family and duplexes you can request a smoke detector by going to http://www.lauderhill-fl.gov/, and click on to the Fire Department page smoke detector program link, or you can call the fire department headquarters at 954-730-2950. All requests for smoke detector assistance are responded to by our Fire Prevention Bureau.
