Working smoke alarms save lives!

Did you know? The structure fire death rate is 60% lower in homes with working smoke alarms than in homes with no alarms or alarms that didn’t operate.

That's why we’re partnering with the American Red Cross to offer free smoke alarms for owner-occupied homes in Columbia Heights.

This program is intended for households that cannot afford to purchase alarms or are physically unable to install them. Requests are subject to eligibility, available alarms, program resources, service area, and scheduling.

Do you need smoke alarms for your home? Learn more and apply: cohi.mn/freesmokealarms

Charge devices on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, causing a battery to overheat.

10/07/2026

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.

10/06/2026

Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery.
