Just One Day of Your Life Can Change Someone Else's Forever
Home fires claim seven lives every day, but having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half. That’s why the American Red Cross is rallying volunteers to install free smoke alarms, as part of our nationwide Sound the Alarm events.
While we host these Sound the Alarm events year round, we invite you to join us for a rewarding day during this signature period to install free smoke alarms and share safety information in at-risk communities.
