Between 150 and 250 smoke and carbon dioxide detectors have been ordered for residents of the Bovina Volunteer Fire Protection District, thanks to a $2,500 grant from worldwide property insurer FM Global.

The dual-purpose detectors are expected to arrive in a month, Bovina volunteer and grant coordinator Jonathan Priddy said. Once they arrive, volunteers will make them available free of charge exclusively for district residents at the station at 4 Willow Creek Drive, Priddy said. A distribution day will be set, he said.

FM Global, a commercial and industrial insurance giant, insures hydrants, pump caps and other equipment owned by the 59.4 square-mile district covering the Bovina community and other areas east of Mississippi 27.
