Tulsa Fire PIO Andy Little said the timing of this donation is perfect.

Little said TFD's program that hands out free smoke detectors ran out of money right before they found out about the donation.

They were on the scene of the last house fire fatality in Tulsa. The next day, they handed out 24 smoke detectors to people in the area.
