In either case, you will be providing a valuable service to your community and helping to save lives. You may be given scheduled appointments at particular homes on your route, or you may be knocking on doors to offer to install free smoke alarms, or a combination of both. Most of your day will be spent visiting homes, installing smoke alarms, and providing home fire safety education to residents. You'll meet your installation team members (if you don't already know them) and receive supplies such as smoke alarms, a drill, educational materials, and a map of your route for the day. The detector gives you a warning when the battery is running low. When everyone has arrived, there may be a short rally which gives us an opportunity to provide simple training and tips, as well as to celebrate you for generously volunteering your time! In addition, you will hear and 85dB alarm and see a red light. When you arrive at the event location, follow the signs to check in.


Together, we will canvass neighborhoods, knock on doors, check smoke alarms in homes and replace if necessary, educate families about home fire safety, build evacuation plans with them and document our services. Your Sound the Alarm event will be a fun day of preparing families against home fires and making your community safer.
