The American Red Cross Home Fire Campaign is coming to Ada on Saturday, Nov. 2.
The Red Cross will be going through several Ada neighborhoods on Saturday, Nov. 2, starting at 9 a.m. to install smoke alarms at no cost in homes that need them and teach people about what they can do now to be prepared should a fire break out in their home.
Joining the Red Cross will be the Ohio Northern University Greek Life students.
“Installing smoke alarms cuts the risk of someone dying from a home fire in half, so we’re joining with groups from across our community to install smoke alarms,” said Todd James, Executive Director of the North Central Ohio Chapter.
