Yolanda Serra, Comerica Bank vice president and banking center manager, recently presented Farmington Hills Fire Dept. Lt. Michael Kish with smoke detectors collected during the Detroit Red Wings’ 11th annual Smoke Detector Drive presented by Comerica Bank.
The donated smoke detectors will benefit low-income families as well as elderly and disabled members of the community. Collection boxes were stationed at southeast Michigan Comerica Bank locations during the 11th annual Detroit Red Wings Smoke Detector Drive.
Additional in-game collections will be held before the Wings take on the Edmonton Oilers on Feb. 9 and before the Wings face the Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 10, on home ice at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

Distributing life-saving devices to low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities is certainly a nice gesture and a smart move. Nevertheles, such persons also require the install of such, not to mention the periodic maintenance and/or testing they require. At any rate, it is a step in the right direction, and is a very wise decision and/or action by all parties involved.
