N.J. Residents To Benefit From New Smoke Alarms — Thanks to Atlantic City Electric

Atlantic City Electric’s Emergency Services Partnership Program recently donated much needed fire safety alarms to fire marshals in each of the eight counties the company serves. This is the 17^th year Atlantic City Electric has donated these important life-saving devices.

“Atlantic City Electric’s Emergency Services Partnership Program has worked with New Jersey public safety agencies to raise fire safety awareness and empower residents to embrace proper fire safety practices,” said Vince Maione, Atlantic City Electric region president. “We are once again proud to step up and provide these much-needed devices that help ensure the safety of local residents and more importantly, save lives.”

Fire marshals in the following counties received 3,200 10-year long-life fire safety alarms and will be distributing the devices to residents in need: Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Ocean and Salem.
