Home fires are the most frequent disaster, claiming seven lives every day. But having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half. That’s why we’re rallying 27,000 volunteers to fundraise and install 100,00 free smoke alarms nationwide during Sound the Alarm events.
Volunteer alongside fire departments and other local groups, canvassing at-risk neighborhoods to:
- install free smoke alarms
- replace batteries in existing alarms
- educate families about fire prevention and safety
- fundraise to help sponsor this life-saving mission
One day of your life can change someone else’s forever. Join us in Severn, MD. Event will be held rain or shine! Food and water will be provided.
