Just one day of your life can change someone else’s forever. Every day 7 people die from home fires. That’s why the American Red Cross is rallying 30,000 volunteers to team up with fire departments and partners to Sound the Alarm. We’re installing 100,000 free smoke alarms from April 26–May 18 in at-risk communities nationwide, to help prevent these needless tragedies. Since 2014, we’ve saved more than 500 lives and made more than 600,000 households safer. Visit SoundTheAlarm.org to volunteer for an event near you!
