Everett partners with American Red Cross

  Mayor Carlo DeMaria recently announced that the city is partnering with the American Red Cross to hold the Sound the Alarm Event on Saturday, May 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers will be installing free smoke alarms to those who make an appointment.

  Seven people die every day from a home fire, and working smoke alarms can cut the risk of dying in a fire in half. The City of Everett is hoping to help change that by installing free smoke alarms in as many homes as possible. Preparing for an unpredictable disaster like a house fire by ensuring your home has properly working smoke alarms is an important precaution to take.

  To schedule an appointment, please call 1-800-564-1234, or you can learn more by visiting www.SoundTheAlarm.org/MA for English speakers and www.ActivaTuAlarma.org for Spanish.
