Home Fire Safety Request | Red Cross of Indiana

Home Fire Safety Presentation Request

Know what to do before, during and after a fire. A 20-minute call could save you and your household.

The American Red Cross is preparing people to act quickly through our Home Fire Campaign. Get tips on escaping a home fire, plus learn smart habits that can prevent a fire from starting. A trained Red Cross educator will provide tailored information on how to protect your home and reduce fire risks.

Did you know that if a fire starts in your home, you may have as little as two minutes to escape? During a fire, early warning from a working smoke alarm plus a fire escape plan that has been practiced regularly can save lives. Learn what else to do to keep you and your loved ones safe!

*Safety is our top priority. We have postponed in-home visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that all education will be conducted over the phone.
