Firefighters say there were no working smoke detectors inside the home and crews have since installed a working detector inside. “We urge everyone to ensure there is a working smoke alarm in every living space of your home,” the agency posted on Facebook. The Red Cross is also assisting the residents in addition to the Fire 7 Foundation, the post said.
