Home Fire Safety

Idaho 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.

Want to learn how to make your home safer?

The Red Cross and its partners are pleased to offer virtual education sessions on Home Fire Safety for residents of Idaho from the comfort of your home.

Do You Need a Smoke Alarm?

The Red Cross and its partners can test existing smoke alarms and install up to three free smoke alarms for those that need them.

Please call 800-853-2570 to enquire whether the installation of free smoke alarms is available in your community.

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.
