- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
On April 26th, we will be installing up to 400 alarms in 150 homes in Jamestown and Fredonia and would love your help. No prior experience is necessary as we’ll provide all the training you’ll need the day of. Rain or shine, we will be out there with our home base out of Fredonia University, as well as smoke alarm installations happening in Jamestown.
Help the American Red Cross reduce the rate of deaths and injuries due to home fires by 25 percent! You'll be able to visit homes within the community, review a fire safety checklist with the residents, assist the resident in completing a home fire escape plan, and review priority protective actions. One day can make a difference and save a life!
