The American Red Cross asks everyone to help Sound the Alarm in Detroit and be part of the nationwide Red Cross effort to help reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by home fires.
Here in the Michigan Region, the Red Cross of Southeast Michigan is holding a Sound the Alarm home fire safety and smoke alarm installation event on May 5 and May 12 from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Red Cross volunteers and local partners will be canvassing neighborhoods, installing free smoke alarms, replacing batteries in existing alarms and helping families create escape plans.
The Red Cross responds to nearly 64,000 disasters a year, the majority of which are home fires. Working smoke alarms in a home cut the risk of death by half, and having an escape plan further improves the odds of survival. The Red Cross wants to end these tragedies and save lives, the reason why the organization launched the Home Fire Campaign in 2014.
Please join this important effort. Together, we can Sound the Alarm about fire safety and help save lives.
