Volunteers will be in teams of three in the role of either Educator, Installer or Documenter.

• The Educator discusses various home safety practices with the residents including how to prevent home fires and how to develop a 2-minute home fire escape plan.

• The Documenter fills out the necessary paperwork to document the install.

About Our Partner: 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 volunteers to install free smoke alarms as part of Sound the Alarm events. Just one day of your life can change someone else’s forever.
