The Red Cross and its partners are pleased to offer virtual education sessions on Home Fire Safety for residents of the Alabama-Mississippi Region from the comfort of your home. In addition to learning what actions you can take to keep you and your loved ones safe during our 20-minute fire safety and prevention education program, you will also have the opportunity to request a free smoke alarm installation visit. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not able to offer smoke alarm installations in all areas at this time. If your area is not currently served by one of our installation partners we will contact you to schedule an installation appointment as soon as it is safe for us to do so.
SAFETY FIRST! As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Red Cross is adapting Sound the Alarm activities to protect the people we serve and our volunteers. Sound the Alarm may look different this year but our lifesaving mission to make families and communities safer from home fire continues.
