Firefighters & Spicy Chicken Save Lives | Augusta Georgia News

Augusta firefighters turned up the heat—not literally, but with a spicy chicken eating challenge—to raise cash for smoke detectors. Twenty percent of all sales from Dave’s Hot Chicken’s Reaper Challenge went straight to the Augusta Fire Department’s Alert Augusta Campaign, which aims to cut fire risks and boost community safety. Fire Chief Antonio Burden called smoke detectors the “number one defense” against fires and invited anyone in need to get one installed for free. Home Depot even matched every dollar raised, doubling the impact. It’s a spicy, community-driven win that’s making neighborhoods safer—one chicken and one detector at a time.
