Home Fire Safety Campaign: Southern California

Southern California Home Fire Campaign

The Home Fire Campaign helps save lives by installing free smoke alarms in homes that don't have them, and by educating people about home fire safety.

Stay Safe From Home Fires

The American Red Cross Southern California Region is working to Sound the Alarm in local communities by educating people about home fire safety. We’ll connect virtually with families to help create an escape plan to practice their 2-minute drill, and then partner with fire departments and community partners to install free smoke alarms by appointment, when it becomes safe 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.

In a Home Fire, Can Your Family Safely Escape in Just 2 Minutes?

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

This spring, join our national movement and pledge to keep your family safe by taking 2 simple steps: Practice your 2-minute escape drill and test your smoke alarms monthly.

American Red Cross volunteers will also Sound the Alarm in at-risk communities by:

Educating 100,000 people nationwide about home fire safety.
Helping families create an escape plan to practice their 2-minute drill.
Partnering with fire departments to install smoke alarms by appointment where it’s safe to do so.
