INDIANAPOLIS  — The Indiana Fire Marshal’s office reports that Indiana has received more than a half-million dollars in federal funding to kick off a campaign to install thousands of smoke detectors in homes around the state.

The $521,000 will be used to install smoke detectors in the homes of high-risk populations to reduce injury and prevent fire deaths.

The goal is to install more than 10,000 smoke detectors and 1,000 shaking bed/strobe alarms for deaf and hard of hearing residents over the next two years.
