Portland Fire & Rescue received a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) to install specialized smoke alarms in the homes of people who are deaf or hard of hearing. This program is purely voluntary and is offered to people with qualified disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act, specifically those deaf or hard of hearing. This program is only for persons living in the City of Portland.

Special installation priority may be given to people with multiple risk factors.
