Join us Saturday, April 22nd for our Sound the Alarm event in Madera where volunteers, partners, and community members will have the opportunity to team up and install free smoke alarms and provide preparedness education to local residents in Hanford.
Home fires claim seven lives every day, but having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half. This event is an impactful, fun, and amazing way for volunteers to work together to strengthen our community and provide a solution to a devastating national problem, home fires.
Sign up by contacting our team or visiting soundthealarm.org/centralcalifornia
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
Please note that volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to participate and will be partnered with an adult if under the age of 18
