American Red Cross asking residents to help ‘Sound the Alarm’ in Yuma
The Red Cross of Southern, Ariz., is holding a ‘Sound the Alarm’ home fire safety and smoke alarm installation event and are asking Yuma residents to participate.
It is a nationwide effort to help reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by home fires.
The Red Cross said they respond to nearly 64,000 disasters a year, the majority of which are home fires.
According to the Red Cross, home fires are the biggest disaster threat our community faces, killing seven people in this country every day.
In an effort to end these tragedies and save lives they launched the Home Fire Campaign in 2014, and across the country, the campaign is making a difference.
