responds to a fire somewhere in the nation, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Every 24 seconds, a fire department in the U.S. Home fires are the most frequent and deadliest disaster in the United States. “They also sent a package of information for me to read.” “A month prior to the fire, the Red Cross did a telephone interview to educate us on fire preparedness, how to prepare an evacuation plan, how to use fire extinguishers, how to make sure our smoke alarms were working,” said Metz. One of the first things we did when we got out was to get our cars out of the driveway and away from the house. “Before, I wouldn’t have thought about my cars, full of gasoline, as being accelerants. Having the Red Cross training was helpful. They were able to respond quickly and evacuate safely due to the knowledge and evacuation planning provided them by the Red Cross. When the fire happened, the family of five, including one person who uses a walker, had to evacuate. The family credits preparedness information learned through the American Red Cross Home Fire Campaign for safely evacuating.
