Sound The Alarm. Save A Life
Join the American Red Cross to Sound the Alarm, a home fire safety and smoke alarm installation event. Every day, seven people die in home fires and the Red Cross wants to do everything they can to prevent these needless tragedies. Volunteers work alongside fire departments and other local groups, canvassing at-risk neighborhoods to install free smoke alarms, replace batteries in existing alarms, educate families about fire prevention and safety, and fundraise for this lifesaving mission. Join the Red Cross for one or more of the signature events across the National Capital Region: Washington DC on May 4, Alexandria and Sterling VA on May 18. One day of your life can change someone else's forever. Join us to Sound the Alarm. Save a Life.
