(GRAND FORKS, ND/EAST GRAND FORKS, MINN) — Approximately 20 volunteers and staff with the American Red Cross Eastern North Dakota and Western Minnesota Chapter converged on Grand Forks and East Grand Forks on May 10th for the chapter’s annual Sound the Alarm campaign.
The Saturday event was part of the national Red Cross Home Fire Campaign, which has helped save at least 2,000 lives across the country — since launching in October 2014.
The group helped install smoke alarms and taught residents about home fire safety.
“You never know when a home fire will impact your or loved ones. They happen every day – I encourage people to take advantage of the Sound The Alarm program and share it with their loved ones,” said American Red Cross Eastern North Dakota and Western Minnesota Chapter Executive Director Kimberly Vosseteig. “By having American Red Cross install and educate on what to do when a fire happens, it’s an invaluable gift.”
