Sound the Alarm, Save a Life with the American Red Cross

Description

Sound the Alarm. Save a Life. 

Join the American Red Cross for their annual Sound the Alarm, Save A Life on Saturday, March 25th from 8am – 3pm! This program targets at-risk neighborhoods and residents that don’t have access to smoke alarms, making them more prone to fire related fatalities. During these events, the American Red Cross partners with fire departments and other local groups to visit homes and install free smoke alarms, replace batteries in existing alarms, and provide fire prevention and safety education to prevent needless tragedies. Because of this program, over 1,200 lives have been saved since it has been in existence, many in the Austin area.
