Safe Seniors Program 

Rockdale County Fire Rescue cares about our Senior Citizens. Knowing what to do in the event of a fire is particularly important for older adults. It’s essential to take the necessary steps to stay safe. Teaching seniors about fire and life safety can save lives. We offer materials and presentations about safety risks specific to seniors including smoking, cooking, use of home oxygen, staying safe at home, and planning for emergencies.

Home Safety Survey Program 

This program has proven to reduce the number and severity of home fires by providing critical life-saving equipment to those who may not otherwise have it. During the home visit our department’s Fire and Life Safety Educators will check existing smoke alarms for functionality and proper placement. They will install new alarms (single station alarms only) or replace batteries, if needed. If the home has gas appliances, a carbon monoxide alarm will be installed.  The home will be assessed for any common fire risks, such as overloaded outlets or extension cords, improper storage of flammable materials, blocked exits, unattended candles or space heaters. The resident’s Home Escape Plan will be reviewed and/or encouraged. Residents of Conyers and Rockdale County can benefit by this program by contacting our department or completing the Request form to schedule an appointment.  (opens in a new tab)

Millions of Americans live with physical, mental, or cognitive disabilities, impairments, or special needs. These individuals are at the highest risk of injury or death in residential fires.
