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.

Take action to make your home safer!

The Red Cross and our partners are pleased to offer FREE smoke alarms and home fire prevention educational materials. Please use the link below to request FREE smoke alarms to help make your home safer against home fires. A member of our Home Fire Campaign team will follow up with you to schedule a visit.

Just One Day of Your Life Can Change Someone Else’s Forever

(Para español, visite ActivaTuAlarma.org)

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.
