HomeSafe Smoke Alarm Testimonial Feb. 5 2016

” Hi there, I would just like to give a big shout out to my local Hall 8 in cloverdale. I have a little boy who is 6 years old. From the time he was 7 months old we have had the men and woman of Hall 8 attend our home, many times. Our son has a condition where he is need to emergency medical aid far too often, several times a year, sometimes a few times a month…..but the Fire department at Hall 8 always arrive within minutes, and they have been just amazing to our baby throug…hout the years.

One time a couple years ago I was working downstairs in my studio, and my babysitter turned on our oven and accidently lit a pizza box that was in our oven on fire, YIKES! The fire department was dispatched due to our hard wired alarm system and Hall 8 attended.WHen they got here we had taken the box outside but our house was so smokey, and we could not get the alarm off. It was so embarrassing. The chief at that time got on the phone with the alarm company and managed to get them to shut it down and in the mean time he had his crew set up this fan system and clear the house, not once making us feel as stupid as we felt.

This MORNING we made a call to get ambulance assistance to the hospital for the little guy and of course Hall 8 arrived and started their assessment. Very kind and professional, always smiling and kind. Once the paramedics arrived and took over, what I didn’t know is that the fire department was checking my smoke alarms!

As my little one was being loaded into the ambulance there was 2 fire fighters on a ladder installing a brand new smoke alarm in our hall that had been found expired. I was so impressed.

I just wanted to say thank you, and let you know as a single mom of 3 boys, knowing we are so close to the very hard working men and woman of Hall 8, its a great comfort and relief to know they are here for me and my boys.”
