Do You Have Working Smoke Alarms?
It is our goal to ensure that every home in Cherry Hill has working smoke alarms. Battery-powered smoke alarms, obtained through a federal grant, are available at no cost to any household within the township of Cherry Hill (while supplies last). If you do not have working smoke alarms or are unsure if your alarms are working, please call the Fire Marshal's Office at 856-429-7441 and ask about our Home Smoke Alarm Program. A CHFD representative will evaluate the level of existing protection within your home and install smoke alarms as necessary.
Homes constructed after 1977 are required to be equipped with hardwired (electric) smoke alarms. CHFD cannot replace hardwired smoke alarms with battery powered alarms within these homes.
Residential Smoke Alarm Inspections
When selling your home in Cherry Hill, it is required that a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm inspection be conducted by the Fire Marshal's Office prior to the settlement date. Please visit Smoke Alarm and Carbon Monoxide Detector Inspections for details on what to expect from the home inspection and complete the smoke alarm inspection request form to schedule an inspection.
