The American Red Cross North Texas Region is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the National Red Cross Home Fire Campaign.
The organization is hosting Sound the Alarm events across Texas in celebration. Red Cross volunteers, employees and community partners will be going door-to-door to install free smoke alarms in homes.
The Home Fire Campaign helps educate people about home fire safety and install free smoke alarms in homes that don't have them.
Through the Sound the Alarm events and the Home Fire Campaign, the Red Cross has installed more than 53,200 free smoke alarms in the North Texas Region since 2014.
