BGSU Students Partner with American Red Cross to Encourage Fire Safety

As part of Bowling Green State University's Students' Day of Service, students are partnering with the American Red Cross to encourage fire safety. On Saturday, August 24th, the students will be canvassing Bowling Green neighborhoods, delivering door hangers containing information on fire safety and encouraging residents to call to request free smoke alarms and installation.

The "Sound the Alarm. Save a Life." effort has been ongoing in Bowling Green for several years, and this month's event will be focused on the neighborhood nearest E. Wooster St., Scott Hamilton Ave., Troup Ave., and State St.

While not all residents will receive a door hanger, all residents, in need of a smoke alarm, are encouraged to contact the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio at 419-380-1130 to schedule a free installation.
