After Deadly California Fire Thousands of Smoke Alarms Installed

March 9, 2015

Volunteers have installed thousands of free smoke alarms in a Southern California neighborhood where a fire killed a mother and her two sons.

Five-thousand smoke alarms donated by the Kidde fire safety products firm were installed in San Juan Capistrano, where authorities say there were no working smoke alarms in a condominium that caught fire on Jan. 20. The fire killed a woman, her 2-year-old son and his 3-year-old brother, injured others and displaced dozens of people from surrounding units.
