Tennessee Red Cross Sounds the Alarm and Save Lives!

Tennessee Red Cross volunteers and partners recently installed over 5,200 smoke alarms in homes and taught people about home fire safety during the Sound the Alarm home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events across the state this April.

Red Cross volunteers and local partners canvassed neighborhoods, installing free smoke alarms, replacing batteries in existing alarms and helping families create escape plans.

Across the country, the Campaign is making a difference. As of March 31, the Red Cross and our partners across the country have saved at least 416 lives, reached 1,075,894 youth through youth preparedness programs, and installed over 1.2 million free smoke alarms since the Campaign began in 2014.  Here in Tennessee, the Red Cross has installed over 25,000 free smoke alarms in homes and saved 11 documented lives since July 1, 2014.

Thank you so much for your support and dedication to this important cause. Because of people like you, even more lives can be saved from home fires!
