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.
