Volunteers from the American Red Cross of Central and Northern Missouri will join Jefferson City firefighters Saturday in offering free smoke alarm installations.
They’ll visit neighborhoods on Saturday from 9 am to 3 pm as part of the “Sound the Alarm” home fire safety campaign.
The Red Cross says that campaign has saved more than 2,600 lives since it launched in 2014.
What’s next: Jefferson City assistant fire chief Jake Holee describes working smoke alarms as one of the simplest and most effective ways to save lives in a fire. Jefferson City firefighters and American Red Cross volunteers will go door-to-door on Saturday from 9 to 3.
