Utility’s Emergency Services Partnership Program Assists County Fire Marshals

Mays Landing  – Atlantic City Electric (ACE) reminds residents of the importance of having working fire safety alarms throughout their homes and to test the alarms monthly to ensure they are working properly.

ACE provided these life-saving devices to thousands of South Jersey residents.

Through its Emergency Services Partnership Program, Atlantic City Electric recently donated 700 10-year long-life fire safety alarms to Burlington and Camden counties. ACE donated a total of 2,800 smoke alarms to fire marshals in the eight counties the company serves to provide this much needed resource to New Jersey residents in need.

“We are extremely proud to once again partner with our county fire marshals to donate smoke alarms to help keep residents safe,” said Vince Maione, Atlantic City Electric region president. “We’re pleased to continue to support public safety entities including fire service, law enforcement and emergency management through donations like this.”

Lowe’s Home Improvement supplied the smoke alarms at a reduced cost to help support this effort. Since 2000, Atlantic City Electric has donated 31,820 smoke alarms to fire safety officials in southern New Jersey.

Atlantic City Electric’s Emergency Services Partnership Program provides resources for safety initiatives, education, recruitment and retention activities, and scholarship opportunities for police, fire, and emergency management officials.
