Every day, seven people die in home fires and the Red Cross wants to do everything we can to prevent these needless tragedies - that’s why we launched our Home Fire Campaign. Volunteer participants work 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, and fundraise to help sponsor this life-saving mission.
In just four years, our home visits have accomplished so much, including the installation of more than 1 million smoke alarms and preparing more than 1 million people against home fires.
We would like to invite you to register as a volunteer for the Sound the Alarm event being held on Monday, January 21, 2019 at Waterford Mobile Home Park in Bear, Delaware. You can choose between two shifts. The first shift will work from 9:00am until 1:00 pm. The second shift will run from 2:00 pm until 6:00 pm.
Volunteers must be 13 years old to participate and any volunteer under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
All volunteers will be assigned to teams of four people with specific roles. If you would like to form your own team of four, you can recruit friends or family to join you. Each team member must register individually. Please remember to dress weather appropriate and wear comfortable walking shoes.
