Together, we have made meaningful strides in combating the nation’s most frequent disaster.”įREE HOME FIRE SERVICES TO CONTINUE Because home fires remain a daily threat and the campaign has made a lifesaving difference, the Red Cross will be continuing the program with community partners as part of its standard services across the country. “We are profoundly grateful for all the dedicated volunteers, donors and other supporters who have made the Home Fire Campaign a success by providing free, lifesaving services to vulnerable communities.

“Smoke alarms truly save lives, and we are thrilled to have installed 2.5 million free smoke alarms with our amazing partners,” said American Red Cross President and CEO Gail J. Most often, these tragedies occur in homes without working smoke alarms. Since launching in October 2014, the campaign has saved at least 1,583 lives from the threat of home fires, which claim seven lives every day in the U.S. The American Red Cross Home Fire Campaign with support from thousands of community partners has achieved its goal of installing 2.5 million free smoke alarms and making 1 million households safer across the country.
