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.
The campaign for Sound the Alarm (an offshoot of Home Fire Campaign) for 2023 runs from April 15th to May 15th. We love to partner with groups (rotary, school clubs, groups of friends, families, etc.) for this campaign.
If interested, please go to redcross.org/volunteer to apply or search for other available opportunities. You can also contact our volunteer recruitment team at mary.finley@redcross.org, or by calling 808-284-6849.
