You don't normally want to see the American Red Cross or a local fire department fanning out in your neighborhood because they're usually partnered up for an emergency.
But on Saturday morning inside the Driftwood Village Mobile Home Park, in Volusia County, these two teams were checking to see if residents had working smoke detectors.
If the units didn't work, the firefighters would install a new one for free.
And yes, there were quite a few people without working smoke detectors.
Jim Lintz, the organizer of the program with the American Red Cross, said the number of people without working devices was surprising.
"That's one of the reasons why we're doing (the program)," he said.
Lt. Dennis Meeske, with Edgewater Fire Rescue, added: "I can't believe it, but yeah, it does. It happens all the time. People are just kind of out of their mind. You know, they're so busy (with their) lives and stuff, so people take it for granted sometimes."
Getting a smoke detector inside the older mobile homes is very much a matter of life or death because even the smallest fire can quickly get out of control.
"A lot of trailers are, you know, small," Meeske said. "So a fire can ignite pretty quick and it just gives them time to get out."
Red Cross volunteers and firefighters agree it's a lot easier doing the proactive steps than responding to a fire — especially at a mobile home park where residents can lose everything in a matter of minutes.
Most fire departments offer free smoke detectors or device checkups.
