The Red Cross, through their Sound the Alarm! Save a Life event, will be out installing free smoke alarms to residents of Longview. We need volunteers to help install and educate households on the importance of fire safety preparedness.
Volunteers will go out in teams of three filling one of the following roles:
Volunteer Safety Educator: Educates the family on fire safety
and assists with completing a disaster plan while the smoke alarms
are being installed. This volunteer should be comfortable speaking
with a wide variety of individuals.
Volunteer Smoke Alarm Installer: Installs smoke alarms in
homes during the canvassing event. This volunteer should be
comfortable using a ladder and a power drill.
Volunteer Documenter: Records information about each home
and the number of alarms installed. This person should be
comfortable completing basic paperwork.
All the necessary training will be provided in the morning of the event. Lunch will also be provided to participants. Volunteers 16 years or older are welcome to participate.
If you have questions or would like to RSVP, please email sam.haffey@redcross.org or call 503-528-5947.
