I can see it now, Sanitation guy coming into your house to sweep!
Is it better to have homes without working smoke alarms?
I have to stand on top rung of my 6 ft ladder to replace the battery. Since the FD offers to do this as a public service why not take advantage of it.

BTW we moved here from Roanoke Va and they did this also. My daughter in DC has this service available as well.
