Starting Thursday Lexington firefighters will be making some non-emergency calls in the Masterson Station area. It’s part of a smoke detector blitz.
With the help of almost $25,000 in federal grant money, the hope is to install around 400 smoke detectors in Masterson Station over the next seven weeks. Lexington Fire Public Information Officer Derek Roberts said some parts of the community off Leestown Road are 20 years old, and many are due for a new detector.
