Free Smoke Alarms through Home Fire Campaign
While the American Red Cross is known for its role in large disaster responses, 80% of our disaster response activities are actually for home fires. Unfortunately, in the U.S. 7 people die from a home fire every single day. Having working smoke alarms in your home reduces the risk of home-fire-related fatalities by 50%. That is why the American Red Cross set a goal of reducing the incidence of fire related deaths and injury by 25% through smoke alarm installations and fire safety education. Anyone can request a smoke alarm through our website or by calling 1-833-244-0724.
Preparedness Education
As part of our grant, we are required to do 3 of 5 of the following with each client:
- Check pre-existing smoke alarms
- Install new smoke alarms
- Go over the Home Fire Safety Checklist (most common causes of house fires and how to avoid them)
- Go over Home Fire Escape plan (2 minutes or less, 2 ways out of every room, pre-designated meet up point, practice)
- Go over preparedness for local hazard (Hurricanes)
Franklin County Emergency Management and American Red Cross are partnering to bring these services to our residents.
