You may find some new advice to keep yourself and your family safe. This is a treasured holiday tradition for many, which will continue for years to come as our employees continue to become more involved with fire prevention as well.Īre you protecting your home from fire? Check out these American Red Cross fire safety tips. Over the past 20 years, our employees have generously donated thousands of Christmas gifts to be distributed to families who lost their homes due to fire. TravelCenters headquarters has supported the American Red Cross of Northeast Ohio long before this event. Teams also left door hangers with information for residents to schedule an alarm installation at a later date, with the Red Cross team. Ultimately these teams were able to install 386 smoke alarms with state of the art lithium batteries at 165 homes, stopping and taking time to review a home fire safety checklist and create an evacuation plan at each. They broke up into teams including each of these positions. 12 TravelCenters employees, including members of the executive and senior leadership team, attended the Sound the Alarm event in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood.Īt the event, volunteers were trained as smoke alarm installers, fire safety educators or documenters. On April 27, TravelCenters of America headquarters joined the movement. Those alarms have saved 582 confirmed lives. Together, they’ve installed 1,651,273 smoke alarms in 684,260 households. In those four years, volunteers have joined events in more than 100 at-risk communities in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Since 1992, they’ve gathered volunteers and canvassed targeted neighborhoods, installing smoke alarms and providing home fire safety education, free of charge.įour years ago, the American Red Cross took Sound the Alarm to the national stage.
When the Red Cross of Northeast Ohio found that many homes in at-risk communities had poorly placed, nonoperational or no smoke alarms at all, they created Sound the Alarm. But with working fire alarms – placed and installed correctly – and an evacuation plan, it’s much more likely you’ll make it to safety.
In the event of a fire, you have approximately two minutes to escape a burning home.
