Connecticut Home Fire Campaign
The American Red Cross 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.
The Prepare-a-thon is a month-long challenge, kicking off in early April, where individuals commit to provide virtual home fire education to residents across Connecticut and Rhode Island.
With the support of local volunteers and partners, the Red Cross can help.
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.
