Putting out fires

A trio of Fort Myers area firefighters has completed their first year in the business of keeping smoke alarms up to snuff.

Firefighters Dave Russell, Scott LaBree and David Lundbohm founded Smoke Detector Medic after seeing many homeowners seldom notice their smoke detectors and realize the need for maintaining them. (It's a problem in many other regions, too.)

Smoke Detector Medic offers homeowners a yearly service on their smoke alarms for $89. The firefighters inspect, clean and change the batteries. The firefighter trio also offers a one-time fire alarm installation for $49.
