Posted

Project "Sound the Alarm" is happening this weekend in Lansing and volunteers are needed.

The event is Sunday, May 6th from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. in Lansing.

People will be installing smoke detectors and will focus on the Southside of Lansing all day.

Teams of volunteers will be installing 100,000 free smoke alarms in more than 100 cities across the U.S.

Sound the Alarm is a project focusing on home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events across the country.

Fire departments and other community partners, along with Red Cross volunteers canvass at-risk neighborhoods, install free smoke alarms, replace batteries in existing alarms and provide fire prevention and safety education for the residents.
