By Katie Northcott, News Director

On Friday, March 20, the Tullahoma Fire Department (TFD) made a Facebook post asking the Tullahoma community to check their smoke alarms.

The request was prompted by the TFD’s response to four structure fires over four days. TFD said early warning is critical to preventing even greater fire damage and asked the community to make sure their smoke alarms have working batteries, test each alarm monthly, and replace any alarm that is over 10 years old.
