Centre County Officials Launch Fire Safety Campaign

Centre County —

The Centre Region Code Administration has launched a fire safety campaign aimed at students. It is called "Look UP! Test your smoke alarm". The idea is to encourage students to check their alarms as they are moving into any off campus housing. The campaign comes over a year after a Penn State student was killed in a fire in a house in State College in which some of the smoke detectors didn't work. After that incident the State College Borough Council toughened its requirements regarding smoke detectors in rental properties. The campaign will run throughout the year.
