The American Red Cross is preparing families to act quickly through our Home Fire Campaign. Red Cross educators will go to your home and provide tailored information on how to protect your home and reduce fire risks. During your appointment, Red Cross-trained volunteers will:

• Provide assistance in testing your current smoke alarms
• Help you develop a personalized fire escape plan including identifying 2 ways to escape and a meeting place
• Provide valuable fire safety tips and training for your household
• Discuss an additional hazard specific to your area (i.e. flooding, hurricanes, tornados)

Did you know that if a fire starts in your home you may have as little as two minutes to escape? During a fire, early warning from a working smoke alarm plus a fire escape plan that has been practiced regularly can save lives. Learn what else to do to keep your loved ones safe!
