For seniors aged 65 and older living alone, two-senior households, and grandparent-headed households, a fire detection sensor, an activity sensor, and an emergency call button are installed free of charge, with an emergency management worker monitoring remotely 24 hours a day. If an emergency such as a fire or a fall is detected, it automatically connects to the fire department and the emergency management worker. There's no income requirement to apply, but the service is not well known and many eligible people miss out.
