for replacement batteries. Adc�ii:ionally, our inspectors come across
inoperable smoke detectors in other buildings. By replacing these batteries
we provide safety to our citizens and save costly paperwork and time required
for recheck by our inspection staff. ,

Safety of citizens is enhanced and additio'nal cast of time and paperwork
by our inspectors are saved.
