Words of warning

Firefighters in Romulus responded to 16 calls for aid last week, including a structure fire off BeverlyRoad. There were no injuries in the Feb. 7 house fire and all the occupants were safely rescued from building. Fire officials cautioned the public regarding the need for operating smoke detectors in every home. The detectors should be tested to ensure they are operating frequently, officials said. If residents do not have the life-saving devices installed, officials urged them to contact the fire department as they might qualify for free detectors, installed by the fire department staff.
