Home fires claim seven lives every day but having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half. That’s why the American Red Cross is rallying 27,000 volunteers to install 100,000 free smoke alarms nationwide during Sound the Alarm events. This spring, we’ll install free smoke alarms, share safety information in at-risk communities and fundraise to help families prepare for, respond to, and recover from home fires.

Join the American Red Cross to Sound the Alarm, a home fire safety and smoke alarm installation event in Darlington County at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 2. Location TBA. Register to volunteer here.  https://www.redcross.org/local/south-carolina/about-us/news-and-events/events/sound-the-alarm-south-carolina.html
