Free Smoke Detector Inspection and Installation During Fire Prevention Week

In recognition of Fire Prevention Week, which is October 5–11, 2025, the Malden Fire Department is offering a valuable service to residents. The department will provide free smoke detector inspections and installations for eligible households. Residents aged 65 years or older can take advantage of this free service by scheduling an appointment with the Malden Fire Department. The service is available for owner-occupied units in one or two-family dwellings or condominiums.

Eligibility requirements:

 Must be 65 years or older

 Must reside in an owner-occupied unit

 Home must be a one- or two-family dwelling or condo

Due to limited availability, residents are encouraged to call as soon as possible to secure a spot. To schedule your free smoke detector inspection and installation, contact the Malden Fire Department at 781-397-7383 x 2107.

This initiative is part of the Malden Fire Department’s ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents. Properly functioning smoke detectors are a critical component of home safety, especially for older adults.
