Did you know that the Bridgeport Fire Department (BFD) is a national leader in proactive safety? BFD’s Smoke Alarms Save Lives program is a model for cities across the country, providing free units and professional installation for eligible 1, 2, and 3-family homes. Call 203-335-8835 or email [email protected]. Note: Subject to supply and availability. Here is a link to their page online.
Starting October 1, 2026, CT state law prohibits the sale of smoke detectors unless they have non-removable, 10-year sealed batteries. This means zero maintenance; you install the units once, and you are protected for a full decade.
If you don't qualify for the free units or simply want to upgrade your home to the new legal standard today, we have the Amazon-recommended, top-rated 10-year sealed units.
Here's a 3-pack combo smoke/carbon monoxide (CO) detector on Amazon. Living in a multifamily or commercial building? Look at this six-pack.
