State Farm will provide smoke alarms to more than 1,300 Texas homes during the Out to Alarm Texas 2024 campaign, the Insurance Council of Texas shared.
The initiative was created in 2005 as a way mitigate the loss of life and property due to fire-related incidents by installing and testing free smoke alarms in homes across the state via their local fire departments.
ICT, State Farm, and local fire departments began distribute free smoke alarms to households earlier this month. The campaign prioritizes areas with higher rates of fires.
“This distribution effort underscores the shared commitment by ICT and our partners, State Farm and local fire departments, to keep Texas residents safe from devastating home fires,” said Rich Johnson, Director of Communications and Public Affairs at ICT. “This program provides critical resources for those who need them while enhancing the safety and security of communities across Texas.”
Since 2005, the Out to Alarm Texas program has grown to over 50 participating fire departments and distributed about 29,000 smoke alarms. In 2023 alone, more than 1,700 smoke detectors were given to Texas residents.
