Red Cross Offering Free Smoke Alarm Installations in Huntington Station

American Red Cross volunteers will be in Huntington Station on Saturday offering free smoke alarm installations to residents.

These smoke alarms are installed through the Home Fire Preparedness campaign, which hopes to reduce the number of fire-related deaths and injuries by 25 percent by 2020.

So far, the campaign has installed more than 375 smoke alarms, according to their website.

Volunteers will be in Huntington Station from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Any residents interested in a free smoke alarm installation can call (516) 229-1086 or click here.

All Nassau and Suffolk residents are invited torequest to have their smoke alarm installed. The Red Cross will notify you when they will be in your area.

Volunteers want to help the community stay safe by reducing one home fire at a time. Anyone with a smoke alarm is reminded to test them monthly and practice an escape plan in the event of a fire. These prevention methods are critical, considering the Red Cross says residents may only have two minutes to escape if a fire starts in their home.
