The Red Cross responds to an average of more than 60,000 disasters, 90% are home fires. With partners, we are working to help reduce death and injuries from home fires in high-risk communities. The Home Fire Campaign aims to save lives by installing free smoke alarms and educating residents about home fire risk by providing home-safety checklists and plans in vulnerable neighborhoods.
