The American Red Cross will be hosting several smoke alarm installation events on Saturday, April 27, 2019.
Working smoke alarms can cut the risk of dying in a home fire by half, yet one in 10 adults reported not purchasing an alarm because of the expense. In addition, nearly half of those surveyed said they’ve disconnected an alarm or taken the batteries out when it went off.
That’s why the American Red Cross of Colorado and Wyoming is hosting smoke alarm installation events across the two-state region. To make these events successful we need community volunteers. People can register now at www.redcross.org/COWSTA2019 to help install free smoke alarms and raise funds for lifesaving services. If you don’t have time to register on line you can show up at the event and register at that time. Training on smoke alarm installation and the education process will be provided at the rally location.
