"By installing smoke detectors as a part of home visits, they make safer homes possible for individuals, especially here in the Fillmore District, who are low-income, have mobility issues, or simply need the extra push to update their devices. "I’m proud to support the American Red Cross and their efforts to make sure every home has a working smoke detector," Council Member Mitch Nowakowski said. Since the campaign was founded in 2014, more than 25,000 free smoke detectors have been given out locally. It will take all of us to help make our community safer, and we are grateful to Council Member Nowakowski and our generous partners for their continued support in helping to end home fires."
"Home fires claim the lives of seven people every day in the United States and having a working smoke alarm in your home can help cut that risk by half," said Nicholas Bond, regional chief executive, American Red Cross of Western New York. "That’s why our dedicated volunteers and community partners are working diligently to meet with homeowners throughout the community to encourage them to sign up for this free and lifesaving resource. It’s all part of the "Sound the Alarm" program, a national campaign that educates people about fire safety. You can get a free smoke alarm for your home this spring thanks to the American Red Cross of Western New York.
