The Greater Cincinnati Tri-State Chapter of the American Red Cross is partnering with the Clinton County Emergency Management Agency, and nine fire departments in the county to install free smoke alarms in homes throughout Clinton County. The effort is part of the Red Cross Home Fire Campaign which aims to reduce home fire deaths and injuries through providing disaster preparedness information, home fire safety instruction and the installation of free smoke alarms.

Anyone in Clinton County needing free smoke alarms should call the Red Cross installation appointment hotline: 844-207-4509. Depending on your location in the county, we’ll work with one of our partner fire departments listed below to have your smoke alarms installed.

Joining in this effort are these Fire Departments and Fire Districts within Clinton County:

• Clinton Warren Joint Fire District – 82 Springhill Road, Clarksville, Ohio
• Wilmington Fire Department – 46 E. Sugartree Street, Wilmington, Ohio
• Clinton South Joint Fire District – 111 S. Broadway Street, Midland, Ohio
• Clinton Highland Joint Fire District – 676 West Street, New Vienna, Ohio
• SRWW Joint Fire District – 179 S. Jackson Street, Sabina, Ohio
• Jefferson Fire Department – 96 E. Jefferson Street, Jefferson, Ohio
• Blanchester Marion Township Fire Department – 447 E. Fancy Street, Blanchester, Ohio
• Clarksville Village Fire Department – 228 E. Main Street, Clarksville, Ohio
• Lynchburg Area Joint Fire District – 8123 State Route 135, Lynchburg, Ohio

Additionally, on Saturday May 30 from 9 a.m. to Noon, Red Cross volunteers will join members of the SRWW Joint Fire District in Sabina going door-to-door offering residents free smoke alarm installations and fire safety information.

“This partnership with the Fire Departments in Clinton County and the Clinton County EMA is a powerful example of community mobilization in action,” said Sid Taylor, Executive Director of the Greater Cincinnati Tri-State Chapter of the American Red Cross. “By working together, we’re able to reach more families, install more smoke alarms, and help ensure that a greater number of households have the protection and preparedness they deserve.”

Since the Home Fire Campaign’s inception in 2014, more than 45,000 families in Central & Southern Ohio have been made safer by the installation of more than 103,000 free smoke alarms in our region.

The Home Fire Campaign is made possible in part through the generosity of our corporate donors, including:
