Do You Need a Smoke Alarm?

If you cannot afford to purchase smoke alarms or are physically unable to install a smoke alarm, the Red Cross may be able to help.

Sound the Alarm. Save a Life.

Spring 2019 events coming soon - check back in February for more information.

This spring the American Red Cross needs your help to install 100,000 free smoke alarms and raise funds for lifesaving services in more than 100 cities in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands during Sound the Alarm home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events.

One day of your life can change someone else's forever. Join us in your community, April 27 - May 12, 2019.

We are so grateful to all the volunteers and donors who made Sound the Alarm 2018 so successful.
