The Ocoee Fire Department partnered with the American Red Cross to host the 'Celebration of the Lives' event on Thursday, Sept. 15. The event honored the lives of a family that were saved from a fire by smoke detectors installed a few years earlier, a result of a smoke detector blitz conducted by the Ocoee Fire Department in 2016. Thomas Smothers, Ocoee Fire Department chief, said the department has conducted several blitzes in the past and, although they were halted by the pandemic, the department plans to bring them back.
