Atlantic City Electric recently donated 700, 10-year long-life fire safety alarms to Burlington and Camden counties, the electric company announced this week.

“We are extremely proud to once again partner with our county fire marshals to donate smoke alarms to help keep residents safe,” Atlantic City Electric Region President Vince Maione said. “We’re pleased to continue to support public safety entities including fire service, law enforcement and emergency management through donations like this.”

Atlantic City Electric’s Emergency Services Partnership Program provides resources for safety initiatives, education, recruitment and retention activities, and scholarship opportunities for police, fire and emergency management officials.
