We are installing free smoke alarms in Meadowbrook mobile home community in Santee to commemorate the 9/11 National Day of Service.

We organize volunteers into teams of 2 or 3 and give each person the role of either Educator, Installer, or Documenter.

  • The Educator discusses various home safety practices with the residents including how to prevent home fires and how to develop a 2 minute home fire escape plan.
  • The Installer is responsible for installing the smoke alarms in the best areas in the home.
  • The Documenter fills out the necessary paperwork to document the install.

We provide all the necessary equipment for the install, including tools and a map of your assigned area. And don't worry, if you've never handled a drill before we offer onsite training and there are non-drill positions available.

Here is a tentative schedule:

  • 8AM: Meet at the Meadowbrook clubhouse located at 8301 Mission Gorge Rd, Santee, CA 92071

  • 8A-9A: Breakfast, training, and supply distribution

  • 9A-1P: Teams in group of 2 or 3 go into the neighborhoods and install smoke alarms

  • 1P: Check back in at clubhouse, return supplies, have lunch and celebrate the successful event!

    We will be offering a carpool from headquarters, so if you need a ride or have any questions, please email or call Melissa at melissa.altman@redcross.org or 858-357-6472
