FARMINGTON HILLS — Having working smoke alarms in the home was the key message when the Farmington Hills Fire Department and the American Red Cross teamed up to promote home fire safety at a live controlled-room fire demonstration April 23. The demonstration took place at the Farmington Hills Fire Department Station #4, located at 28711 Drake Road. A living room was built in a structure approximately 10 feet by 10 feet that included the type of furnishings that can be found in many living rooms — an upholstered sofa, two upholstered chairs, tables, lamps, and drapes. A trained firefighter in full gear ignited the drapes. See FIRE SAFETY on page 4A
