A new Maryland law approved by Gov. Martin O'Malley takes effect July 1. It requires battery-operated smoke alarms in homes have batteries that last ten years. State fire officials hope the new technology and the new law will save lives.

As always the Solomons Volunteers are always available to assist the public with these changes. If you need any help with changing batteries or testing your smoke detectors feel free to contact that station to request assistance.
