Following the tragic deaths of four people in an Akron house fire over the weekend, the Red Cross is partnering with some Northeast Ohio fire departments to supply residents with smoke detectors.
The Red Cross will provide and install smoke detectors for free to anyone who requests the alarms.
The initiative is called Operation Save-A-Life.
Akron residents can call 330-535-2030 to request a home fire safety inspection and free smoke alarms.
In Cleveland, residents can call 216-361-5535. Youngstown residents may call 866-319-7160. Elsewhere throughout Northeast Ohio, residents can log onto redcross.org/neo to request smoke alarms for their homes.
