Free Pizza for Working Smoke Detector

The Des Moines FD has a great way to help people remember to check their smoke detectors (from KCCI.com).

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Des Moines firefighters know smoke detectors can save lives, so they used pizza as an incentive to check residents' smoke detectors on the city's east side.

Those who ordered pizza Wednesday night got more than a pie.
The Des Moines Fire Department came along to check smoke detectors for homeowners. A group called Project Safe is behind the special delivery program.

...

Homeowners who had working smoke detectors got free pizza and others also got free batteries.

Free food has always made me sit up and take notice, so I guess it works on some other folks too.
