Monique’s Story is the incredible story of how a smoke alarm installed by the Philadelphia Fire Department’s Community Risk Reduction program saved the lives of Monique and her family late one night.
In 2012, the Philadelphia Fire Department installed a smoke alarm in Darnell’s house as part of a Community Risk Reduction program.
In 2015, the family came home from a visit to Disney World, exhausted. In the middle of the night, a fire broke out, setting off the smoke alarm. Darnell, his daughter Monique, and granddaughters Armani and Ariel were able to escape, as told by Darnell and Monique and as heard on the 911 recording where they had to jump out of a second story window.
