Red Cross to Install Free Smoke Alarms in Boston's Dorchester on November 14: Up to Three per Home by Appointment
In Dorchester, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the American Red Cross of Massachusetts has announced a "Sound the Alarm" free smoke alarm installation event on Saturday, November 14, from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m., meeting at the Leahy-Holloran Community Center, 1 Worrell Street.
Residents can request a free installation appointment by calling 1-800-564-1234, with up to three free smoke alarms installed per home. The Red Cross says home fires claim seven lives every day, and that having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half. Volunteers at the event will be provided with breakfast, lunch, and all required training and supplies.
The same day, the Boston Fire Department, in collaboration with the American Red Cross, will offer free home installation of 10-year battery powered smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for Dorchester residents from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with priority installation for owner-occupied homes of vulnerable or low-income populations, according to the City of Boston event page.
The Red Cross Home Fire Campaign works with community partners to provide fire-safety education, help families develop escape plans and install free smoke alarms; the Massachusetts event is one of the campaign's November installation days.
