On September 22, the Red Cross and Jackson County Fire District 3 will install smoke alarms in homes that need them in Central Point and White City Areas

CENTRAL POINT and WHITE CITY, Ore., September 21, 2018 — The local American Red Cross and Jackson County Fire District 3 are partnering to save lives by installing smoke alarms in homes that need them in the Central Point and White City areas. On Saturday, September 22, 2018, starting at 9 a.m., more than three dozen volunteers and firefighters will go door-to-door in Thunderbird Mobile Home Park and The Meadows Mobile Home Park to install free smoke alarms and deliver fire safety information.

The Red Cross installs free smoke alarms in homes that need them and has installed more than 22,000 smoke alarms in Oregon and Southwest Washington since 2014. Five lives have been saved in this area as a result of Red Cross installed smoke alarms.

The statistics are staggering when weighing the benefits of working smoke alarms. During a fire, residents may have as little as two minutes to escape. Having a working smoke alarm can cut the risk for injury or death by home fire in half. The Red Cross and Fire District 3 recommend that smoke alarms be installed on each level of the home, in each sleeping area and outside the sleeping areas, since most home fires start between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.

WHAT: Red Cross Smoke Alarm Installation Event

WHERE: Thunderbird Mobile Home Park, 2774 Falcon St., White City, OR 97503

WHEN: Saturday, September 22, 2018, starting at 9 a.m.

MEDIA AVAILABILITY: Jackson Country Fire District 3 Public Information Officer Ashley Blakely and Red Cross Disaster Program Manager Joel King will be available for media interviews at 9 a.m. at Thunderbird Mobile Home Park.

GET AN ALARM The Red Cross advocates emergency preparedness and offers the installation of free smoke alarms in our community. Residents may call (503) 528-5783 or complete an online form at http://www.redcross.org/GetAnAlarm to schedule an appointment.

MAKE A PLAN You may only have two minutes to escape when a fire occurs, but most people mistakenly believe they have more than twice as long to get out. The Red Cross recommends that households develop a fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year with everyone who lives in the home. People should know two ways to escape from every room and designate a safe place to meet outside the home in case of a fire. Discuss the plan with everyone in the household and practice until every member of your household – including children – can escape in less than two minutes

RED CROSS HOME FIRE CAMPAIGN Seven times a day someone in this country dies in a fire. The Red Cross has been working to reduce that number through its Home Fire Campaign, a multi-year effort to reduce the number of home fire deaths and injuries by 25 percent. Launched in October of 2014, the Red Cross and thousands of campaign partners, have helped save numerous lives through the effort, as well as installing more than a quarter million smoke alarms in homes all across the country.

HOW TO HELP Join the Red Cross effort to save lives, reduce injuries and cut down on needless losses from home fires by making a financial donation by visiting redcross.org or calling 1-800 RED CROSS. A gift to Home Fires enables the Red Cross to provide critical services to people impacted by home fires along with the lifesaving tools and information to support prevention efforts.
