Description: 
Home fires claim seven lives every day, but you can help change that. 

This spring, join our national movement and pledge to keep your family safe by taking 2 simple steps: Practice your 2-minute escape drill and test your smoke alarms monthly. 

American Red Cross volunteers will also Sound the Alarm in at-risk communities by: 
  • Educating 100,000 people nationwide about home fire safety. 
  • Helping families create an escape plan to practice their 2-minute drill.
  • Partnering with fire departments to install smoke alarms by appointment where it’s safe to do so.
