By Jessica Howard<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elderly residents will be better prepared in the event of a house fire thanks to a group of
\nlocal volunteers.<\/p>\n

Bacchus Marsh Rotary and Bacchus Marsh CFA will provide residents aged over 75 with
\nthe opportunity to have their smoke alarm batteries replaced annually.
\nThe project will commence on Sunday October 1 to coincide with the change to daylight
\nsavings.<\/p>\n

Sue Hansen from the Rotary Club of Bacchus Marsh said the project was designed to
\nmake senior citizens more aware of the need for working smoke alarms and fire safety.
\n\u201c[It will also help senior citizens] avoid the possibility of injury by trying to change the
\nbatteries themselves and will help to prevent the trauma of losing their life possessions
\nthrough fire,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The free service will see a friendly Bacchus Marsh Rotarian and uniformed CFA member
\nknock on the door of those who are registered and test their smoke alarm before changing
\nits batteries.<\/p>\n

Door knocks will occur between either 10am and 12:30pm or 12:30pm and 3pm.
\nMoorabool Shire Council has identified 215 dwellings that house at least one person aged
\nover 75 in Bacchus Marsh \u2013 all of whom are eligible for the service.<\/p>\n

Registrations officially opened on Monday (September 4) and will close on Wednesday
\nSeptember 27.<\/p>\n

The service is supported by Moorabool Shire Council, Bendigo Bank Bacchus Marsh and
\nWilson\u2019s Home Timber and Hardware.<\/p>\n

To register, contact Bendigo Bank Bacchus Marsh with your address, contact details,
\npreferred time slot and ceiling height (above or below 10\u201d) on 5367 4660. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
