It's actually a very sensible use of a public resource - prevention is better than cure!
Merseyside Fire Brigade's firemen have been installing fire alarms free of charge for many years. They visit local residential properties on a regular basis over the years and anyone can have them fitted. At the same time they offer potential fire risk checks if property owners agree.
All very sensible and a good use of firemen's time in between attending fires or training, as you suggest.
