Red Cross Sound the Alarm

Sound the Alarm

Every year, the Red Cross installs new fire alarms in the homes of community members. This is something that the organization does yearly, and it is free to those who sign up. It’s extremely important to make sure your fire alarms work properly throughout the year. Dust and dirt build up can cause sensor issues, old and run down batteries can cause it to not work at all, and both of these issues can lead to harm for your home and family.

About the Home Fire Campaign

Every day, 7 people die in home fires and tragically, most victims die in homes that don’t have working smoke alarms. The Red Cross wants to do everything we can to prevent these needless tragedies - that’s why we launched our Home Fire Campaign. Volunteer participants work alongside fire departments and other local groups, canvassing at-risk neighborhoods to install free smoke alarms, replace batteries in existing alarms, educate families about fire prevention and safety, and fundraiser for this lifesaving mission.

In just four years, these efforts have saved hundreds of lives and made hundreds of thousands of households safer.
