In a Home Fire, Can Your Family Safely Escape in

Just 2 Minutes?

Home Fire Campaign

Most of us don’t realize that we have just 2 minutes to escape a home fire. That’s why the American Red Cross is preparing families to act quickly through our Home Fire Campaign. Since launching the campaign in 2014, we have helped save countless lives across the country by helping families create escape plans and install smoke alarms.

Are you prepared for a home fire?

The Red Cross offers free smoke alarm installs as well as free presentations to the public, schools, and organizations. Our preparedness programs provide the training you and your family may need in the event of an emergency or disaster.

Educate yourself to save lives and protect yourself and your family by taking two simple steps:

(1) Practice your 2-minute escape drill
(2) Test your smoke alarms monthly
