FREE SMOKE DETECTORS: This spring, volunteers and members of the American Red Cross Pennsylvania Rivers Chapter will team up with community partners to install free smoke alarms for local families vulnerable to home fires during Sound the Alarm events.

Residents are encouraged to schedule an appointment for smoke alarm installations by calling 484-403-4734 or visiting SoundTheAlarm.org/greaterpa. Volunteers will go door-to-door to offer home fire safety visits during each Sound the Alarm event for neighbors who did not make appointments.
