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.

‘It Could Have Been a Whole Lot Worse’: Smoke Alarms Save Family’s Lives

Audra was cooking dinner for her son and family friends when a dishtowel caught fire. “It was pitch-black in the house,” she said. “You couldn’t breathe, and it was just to the point where we thought the whole house was going to go up. I just thank God for the [smoke] alarms.”

Red Cross volunteers had installed free smoke alarms in Audra’s home five months earlier through the Home Fire Campaign, which aims to prevent fire tragedies. Learn more about the campaign at http://redcross.org/homefires.
