Alexandria Fire Department and American Red Cross to Install Smoke Alarms in Old Town West

For Immediate Release: December 1, 2023

The Alexandria Fire Department will install smoke alarms in the Old Town West area at 9 a.m. Saturday, December 9. The Alexandria Smoke Alarm Safety Installation Taskforce (ASSIST) is partnering with the American Red Cross for its last “Sound the Alarm” event of 2023 as they continue efforts to ensure every home in Alexandria is equipped with working smoke alarms.

ASSIST is a program designed by the Alexandria Fire Department, Friendship Firehouse and the American Red Cross to proactively install smoke alarms throughout the City of Alexandria.

The Fire Department and American Red Cross welcome additional assistance from interested volunteers to help install smoke alarms. A few hours of your time can make a life-saving difference to families facing a home emergency. If you are an existing American Red Cross volunteer, you must sign up on “Volunteer Connection” to participate in this installation event. After logging in, go to “My Shifts Sound the Alarm – Regional Events,” select “In-Home Fire Safety Visits-Alexandria,” and click on register. If you are not an existing volunteer, you can register by visiting “Volunteer Connection.”

Registered volunteers are asked to report to the Oswald Durant Center (1605 Cameron St.) at 8 a.m. for a briefing. Please remember to dress appropriately for the weather.
