iHeartMedia is Serving the Community!

The Central and Northern New York Chapter of the American Red Cross and community partners are offering free smoke alarm installations for Syracuse residents during a Sound the Alarm home fire safety event on Saturday, May 6. Listen to Lisa Smith the Executive Director of the Central & Northern NY Chapter of the American Red Cross on Syracuse's Morning News!

Volunteers will focus on Syracuse’s Near Westside neighborhood on May 6, but home visits in other portions of the city and additional communities can be accommodated at a later date.

Residents who need assistance can register at redcross.org/STAeny or contact the Red Cross at preparedness.eny@redcross.org or 518-694-5121 for a home fire safety visit. Volunteers will also share information on the causes of home fires, how to prevent them, what to do if a fire starts and how to create an escape plan.
