Massena (NY) Fire Apparatus to Deliver Pizzas and Check Smoke Alarms

Anyone who orders a pizza in that two-hour span may be randomly selected to find their pizza arriving aboard a fire engine from the Massena Volunteer Fire Department. If the smoke alarms in the home are working, the pizza is free. If not, the firefighters will install fully-functioning alarms or replace batteries at no cost to the resident.  

It’s all part of National Fire Prevention Week, which runs from Oct. 7 to 13, and is a partnership among the Massena Domino’s, the National Fire Protection Association and Massena Volunteer Fire Department to promote fire safety. This year’s campaign theme is “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere.”
