The Heart of Tennessee Chapter is seeking volunteers to help install more than 400 free smoke alarms for local families during a Sound the Alarm home fire safety event in Lake Forest Community on October 7.

“Sound the Alarm is a rewarding way to give back and directly help local families,” said Sandy Hughes, external relations government operations manager. “It’s a day of coming together to support one another, especially those most vulnerable to home fires. A working smoking alarm can be the difference between survival and tragedy — and as a community, we can help our neighbors stay safe by ensuring they have these lifesaving devices.”

Those interested can register now at RedCross.org/SoundtheAlarm to volunteer during the Red Cross Sound the Alarm event on October 7, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. No prior experience is needed. Training will be provided at Lake Forest Park before volunteer teams — with members of the Red Cross LaVergne Fire Department — visit area homes to install smoke alarms and share fire safety information during the day.
