The Bash Bootcamp Challenge

"Salute to Service with a Pledge to Prepare"

As a registered guest of this year's BASH, you are invited to participate in our four-week Boot Camp Challenge. Once a week, we’ll announce a different safety drill to help you and your family prepare for emergencies.

Week One: Home Fire Safety

Home fires claim seven lives every day, but you can help change that! We challenge you to take 3 simple steps this weekend:

Learn about our Sound the Alarm initiative and submit a virtual Pledge to Prepare.
Download a home fire escape plan worksheet and practice your 2-minute drill.
Test your smoke alarms.

SHARE THE LOVE

Post a photo of you or your family testing your smoke alarms and include #BASHBCC and #PrepareCalGC for a chance to win a prize from the CA Gold Country Region of the American Red Cross.

Winners and prizes will be announced during our virtual event on May 22nd!

Monday, January 18, 2016. Alexandria, Virginia.
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, thousands of volunteers across the country participated in a day of service by canvassing their local communities and installing smoke alarms for their neighbors. The National Capital Region of the American Red Cross hosted MLK Day of Service events supporting the Home Fire Campaign in communities throughout the National Capital Region. Red Cross volunteers, Gabriela Argueta and Craig Cole review the functionality of the smoke alarm installed in Stacey Chronister s home.
