During Nampa's Community Assisted Smoke Detector and Addressing
Program (CASDAP), firefighters visit hundreds of residents in predetermined
neighborhoods. As they go door-to-door, they ask residents to allow
them to inspect their current smoke detectors, install new smoke
detectors as needed, and install proper address numbers on the exterior
of their home.
This project is funded with HUD's Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds.
In one year, 328 residences were contacted. A whopping 943 battery-operated
smoke detectors were installed and 20 hard-wired smoke detectors
were installed. In addition, 246 of these homes had address numbers
installed.
