Loveland, Ohio – The Greater Cincinnati Tri–State chapter of the American Red Cross is seeking volunteers for its 2023 Sound the Alarm campaign taking place throughout April.
Volunteers needed to install FREE smoke alarms in homes
Sound the Alarm is part of the larger Red Cross Home Fire Campaign which aims to reduce home fire deaths and injuries by providing disaster preparedness information, home fire safety instruction, and the installation of FREE smoke alarms. Since the program’s inception in 2014, more than 36,000 families in Central & Southern Ohio have been made safer through the Red Cross Home Fire Campaign. Of the approximately 62,000 disasters the Red Cross responds to across the country every year, more than 90 percent are home fires.
There are two types of volunteer opportunities available in the Cincinnati area:
1. Volunteers are being sought to go into designated neighborhoods and leave behind informational door
hangers, alerting residents that the Red Cross will soon be in the area to install free smoke alarms.
2. Volunteers are needed to install FREE smoke alarms in area homes.
Volunteers who sign up to participate would be working with other Red Cross volunteers and staff, and members of local fire departments.
