Every day, seven people die in home fires, most often in homes without working smoke alarms. That’s why the American Red Cross launched our Home Fire Campaign in 2014 to save lives.
Through our home visits, we’ve installed more than 2.2 million free smoke alarms and prepared more than 2.5 million people for home fires.
You can join the American Red Cross today as a volunteer installing fire alarms in the homes of those that need them most in our communities across the island.
This opportunity is great for teams of 2-4 people. Someone will be the documenter, the safety educator, the installer and the assistant. You'll install smoke alarms in the home, help the renter or owner to draw up an evacuation plan, practice a 2-minute escape drill and perform a safety check to ensure there are no obvious fire hazards in the home.
