Smoke Detector Program The Apopka Fire Department and its personnel realize the importance of SMOKE DETECTORS in saving the lives of victims of fire. Smoke detectors alert the occupants of a home that deadly smoke is present. This allows the victims to escape the residence before they are overcome by the smoke. Apopka firefighters have checked and installed hundreds of smoke detectors in homes within the municipal limits of Apopka. If you live in the City limits and you need a smoke detector.
Hurricane and Storm Preparedness The most active hurricane season runs from the middle of summer through fall. In Florida, heavy storms can be expected anytime. Prepare yourself and your property for these events by planning ahead. The Apopka Fire Department and the Apopka Building department will help homeowners in the municipal limits with free home and property inspections and will provide the occupants with information about these weather conditions.
