Help Keep Homes Safe from Fires

Home fires claim seven lives every day, but you can help change that. 

Pledge to keep your family safe and schedule a free smoke alarm installation during a local Sound the Alarm event. Give back to your community by volunteering at a Sound the Alarm event with no prior experience needed. Questions? Call the Sound the Alarm hotline: 310-445-9914.

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 nationwide, as part of our Sound the Alarm events.

This year we’ll install free smoke alarms, create escape plans and share fire safety information. 

Join us for a rewarding day at a Sound the Alarm event near you. Make an even greater impact and donate to help families prepare for, respond to and recover from home fires.
