Work has gotten underway on the project in the past few weeks, with staff reaching out to residents to schedule appointments for replacement of the detectors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(The replacement) takes a few minutes to go from room to room,\u201d said Theressa Hollivay, Family Housing Program Manager with USAG Stuttgart.\u00a0\u201cIt should take 20-30 minutes with the back and forth to the panel checking to see they are communicating correctly. If it goes longer, then they\u2019ve run into a problem somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smoke detectors in family housing units are hard-wired to power, so residents don\u2019t have to worry about replacing batteries.\u00a0For this project, interim measures were adopted as required by the Life Safety Code and applicable program regulatory guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Hollivay says crews routinely test the systems so residents don\u2019t have to worry about that either. Monthly visual checks and annual full tests are conducted on the systems as required.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResident safety is our primary concern,\u201d said Hollivay. \u201cWe try as much as we can to make people feel comfortable here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Estimated completion for the project is late in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Those with questions on the effort to replace smoke detectors can contact Theressa Hollivay at DSN 314-596-2350 or by email at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:theressa.a.hollivay.civ@army.mil\" target=\"_blank\">theressa.a.hollivay.civ@army.mil<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Army Garrison (USAG) Stuttgart staff are working to replace an estimated 2500 smoke detectors in housing units across the region.
