In a show of strength, mother Michelle Dosso spoke out Sunday at her Church in Southwest Philadelphia, urging everyone to get smoke detectors. An effort to prevent more deaths. Just this Friday her three children (ages 8, 6, and 1) were killed in a fire at their home. “Get some smoke detectors, get some fire extinguishers. The fire houses is willing to give these items for free, so get it done!" Dosso said. – Kristen Welker, NBCPhiladelphia.com, December 29, 2008
