Operation Save-A-Life
Tensas Parish Fire District participates in the Louisiana State Fire Marshal's Operation Save-A-Life Program. Their goal is to greatly reduce fire related injuries and deaths across the state by providing smoke alarms to vulnerable citizens and at risk communities.
These smoke alarms must be installed by fire service personnel or representatives of the fire department.
The link below will take you to a form that can be submitted directly to Tensas Parish Fire District so that you can be contacted about the installation of a smoke alarm in your home.
