RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - This effort is part of the American Red Cross of Northern Nevada’s annual Nevada Turn and Test: November Smoke Alarm Challenge, a month-long initiative to raise awareness about the importance of working smoke alarms in preventing home fire tragedies.

“Home fires are one of the most common and devastating disasters we respond to,” said Bridget Posson, Executive Director for the American Red Cross Northern Nevada Chapter. “Testing your smoke alarms and replacing old batteries is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your family and home.”

To help Nevada families stay safe, the Red Cross of Northern Nevada is offering free smoke alarms, installation services, and fire safety education. Residents can schedule a free home visit by clicking here .
