American Red Cross Home Fire Campaign



The Home Fire Campaign helps save lives by installing free smoke alarms in homes that don't have them, and by educating people about home fire safety.

This spring, the Red Cross will launch Sound the Alarm, a series of home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events nationwide. Volunteers will install 100,000 free smoke alarms in high risk neighborhoods, culminating in the installation of the one millionth smoke alarm!

Since 2014, the Red Cross, in partnership with fire departments and other local groups, has visited homes installing free smoke alarms, replacing batteries in existing alarms and providing fire prevention and safety education to prevent needless tragedies. Join us today in helping to save lives.

Do You Need A Smoke Alarm?

Smoke alarms should be present on every floor of your home, in every bedroom, and in every hallway. If you would like to schedule an appointment for trained Red Cross volunteers to:

  • Install FREE 10-year smoke alarms in any or all of the recommended areas

  • Help your household develop a Family Disaster Plan

  • Provide valuable emergency preparedness tips and information
