American Red Cross Responds to Home Fires Across the Country

Every day across the country, seven lives are lost due to home fires.

Every 40 minutes, an injury from a home fire is reported.

It’s simple: these are all lives that can be saved.

The American Red Cross is partnering with fire departments and community groups to install smoke alarms in homes across the country.

Providing lifesaving safety information across all 50 states at no charge.

Resulting in many lives saved.

Our goal is simple: to reduce home fire deaths and injuries by 25%.

Here’s how we can do that: make a home fire escape plan with your family. Practice your escape plan until it can be done in 2 minutes or less. Test your smoke alarms.

Working together, we can save lives.

We are all the Red Cross. Join us.
