The smoke detectors being installed have a 10 year life battery, so no battery replacing is needed! The presence of working smoke detectors reduces the risk of dying in a home fire by 50%, take advantage of this great program TODAY!
Sound the Alarm is part of the ongoing Red Cross Home Fire Campaign, in which Red Cross volunteers and partners install free smoke alarms, replace batteries in existing alarms and help families create escape plans. This work is made possible thanks to generous financial donations from national partners: Almost Family and Delta Air Lines. The Red Cross has also received funding from FEMA through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program
