Smoke Detector Questions

How often should I change my smoke detector?

You should replace smoke detectors every 10 years, or sooner if they are not working properly. Check the back of the unit for the manufacture date; add 10 years to this date to find the replacement year. It is also recommended to replace any combination smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors every 7 years.

Does KRFD replace batteries in smoke detectors?

Yes, if you need help changing the batteries in your smoke detectors, call (208) 922-1144 to make a request.

Can I bring a group to tour the station or will the firefighters come to my school?

Absolutely! Just go to the We Love Our Community section on our website to submit a request!

What do I need to do before a controlled burn?

You do not need a permit from Kuna Fire to burn in the Kuna Rural Fire District. Please check the air quality and follow the Burning Guidelines.
