Starting in 2026, the life-saving power of our "Get Alarmed, Tennessee!" smoke alarm program will include FREE carbon monoxide detectors too.

In 2025, the SFMO began providing carbon monoxide (CO) alarms to fire departments as the detectors became available and started the process of acquiring more CO detectors via a federal grant. The SFMO is now in possession of a new supply of smoke alarms and CO detectors and wants to further support Tennesseans in the wake of Winter Storm Fern.

“During Winter Storm Fern, people turned to alternative power and heating sources in order to stay warm and, tragically, that led to CO-related illnesses and fatalities,” said TDCI Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Carter Lawrence. “I offer my condolences to the people who lost their loved ones to CO poisoning during this tragic event. Looking ahead, our team stands ready to help prevent future home fire and CO fatalities. We have supplied the Metro Nashville Fire Department with over 400 CO alarms for installation in homes where Nashville residents are still using gas-powered generators. In the wake of the severe winter weather, I encourage Tennesseans to check their homes’ CO detectors and smoke alarms in order to ensure they are working properly and can avoid any additional tragic losses of life.”

Think Tennessee can't be affected by an earthquake? Think again.

During Earthquake Awareness Month, we're reminding Tennesseans that the Volunteer State has two seismic zones — the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) in the west and the East Tennessee Seismic Zone in the east. While most quakes that occur in Tennessee are small, scientists estimate that there is a 25-40% probability of a 6.0 or greater magnitude earthquake occurring in the central United States within a 50-year window. While the primary focus remains on the NMSZ, it is not the only area of concern in the central U.S. Earthquakes are also occurring in the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone (which includes southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana) as well as in Oklahoma, Kansas, Ohio, and Texas. All told, about 200 earthquakes occur in the central U.S. every year, many of which go unnoticed.

Consumers should remember that traditional homeowners and business insurance policies do not cover earthquake damage. Earthquake insurance is available to purchase in Tennessee from licensed insurance producers.
