“These innovative monitors come with alarms and a bed-shaker specially designed to alert persons with a hearing impairment that there is a fire,” said Dallas Fire-Rescue Captain William Moore. The devices were purchased through a $25,000 grant from Colemont Insurance Brokers and Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company. For more information about the program call (214) 670-5529.
