Chirping Fire Alarms
If your fire alarm starts chirping, please do not climb up on a ladder to fix it. Call Public Safety (our fire department+) at 352-205-8280 and they will come to your home and replace your batteries… Just call them, buy the batteries they suggest, and set a time for them to install them. This is a free “keep our residents safe” service. (Ref: Sept. 2016 Welcome Wednesday)
