Statesboro Domino's Pizza Partners with Local Fire Department to Promote Fire Safety Residents receive free pizza for properly functioning smoke detectors
STATESBORO, Ga., Oct. 23, 2007 - October is National Fire Safety Month and the Statesboro Domino's Pizza and the Statesboro Fire Department are joining forces to promote fire prevention. On Oct. 24, anyone who orders a Domino's pizza may be surprised at the door when their pizza arrives aboard a fire engine. If all the smoke detectors in the home are working, the pizza is free. If the smoke detector is not working, the firefighters will replace the batteries and leave the home with a fully functioning detector.
"Fire safety is vitally important," said Michael Orcutt, Domino's Pizza franchisee. "We are thrilled to work with the fire department on a program to promote the safety of our friends and neighbors and to reward those who make fire safety a priority."
"Daylight Saving Time is a great time of year to change the batteries on your smoke detector," said Dennis Merrifield, Statesboro Fire Department fire chief. "Functioning smoke detectors save lives, but many people forget to maintain the batteries. We are excited to be working with Domino's Pizza to promote good fire safety precautions by rewarding residents who have properly installed and functioning smoke detectors with a free, delicious pizza."
Customers can call the Statesboro Domino's Pizza store, located at 17 College Plaza, at (912) 681-4326 to place their order and be eligible for the fire truck delivery.
