At the Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association’s November meeting, Frank Johnson from Dallas Fire-Rescue provided valuable information on the many services provided by these dedicated individuals.

Fire-Rescue staff will provide a fire inspection for your home. Call 311 or select “Fire Inspection” through Dallas’ on-line 311 system.

Free smoke detectors are available and will be installed by Fire-Rescue personnel. Low income, elderly, or disabled citizens are targeted for this program. Call 214-670-4319 or select “Smoke Detector Request” through the 311 website.

If someone may need additional assistance in the event of a fire (e.g., wheel-chair bound), this information should be provided now to the Fire-Rescue Dept. Call 311 to have this information entered in the city’s database. (You should be transferred to another operator during your call.) Emergency personnel will then receive a message while they are en route so that they are aware of any special needs.
