Sunday, June 10, 2018 - 13:00

Location:

Fire Training Center, 1941 Haskell, Lawrence KS

Description: Volunteers needed to help us canvas east Lawrence neighborhoods to install free smoke alarms and provide fire preparedness information to families. Madison Halverstadt lost her life on March 26 in Lawrence in a home fire that had no smoke alarm. Help us prevent deaths like Madison's in the future by making sure low-income and vulnerable neighborhoods are protected with smoke alarms. Submitted by: Jane Blocher American Red Cross
