Mothers of newborns at Temple University Hospital will be going home with new babies and something to help keep them safe: smoke alarms.
Beginning today, the hospital and the Philadelphia Fire Department will deliver the first of 1,500 smoke detectors powered by a 10-year lithium battery in the mothers' take-home bags. Installation instructions and fire-safety information will be handed out as well, officials said. Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers is to be joined by hospital officials today at the hospital at Broad and Ontario Streets.
