The third phase of the project included identifying 10 "high-risk" apartment complexes. The landlords of these complexes were provided resources to assist in educating their tenants about the importance of smoke alarms. These resources included posters for laundry facilities and common areas, smoke alarm pictorial sheets and tabletop display for new tenant orientation, and refrigerator magnets. Additionally, Lloyd Maris developed three direct mail pieces which were mailed to the tenants in these complexes.

Currently, TVF&R has 30 apartment complexes involved in the program, with plans to expand the program to at least 200 complexes.
