As daylight saving time begins Sunday, the American Red Cross of Northern Nevada encourages residents to spring forward with a free smoke alarm and installation.
Through its Home Fire Campaign, residents can request this free service. During the installation visit, Red Cross volunteers will share education information and help residents customize evacuation plans. To request a free smoke alarm, contact the Red Cross hotline number at 954-1185. Leave a name, address, and phone number. Red Cross says working smoke alarms can double a person’s odds of survival. Zanny Marsh, reminds you to please take time to ‘turn and test.’ Turn your clocks forward and test your smoke alarms. Since July 1st, Red Cross volunteers have responded to 84 home fires.
