BUFFALO, N.Y. — The American Red Cross is launching its "Sound the Alarm" campaign, helping protect you and your family from fires.

Starting Tuesday, the organization is set to give free fire alarms to families across Western New York.

The Red Cross is focusing on Chautauqua County, hoping to install 350 alarms.

The goal of the campaign is to teach families about fire safety to prevent fires.

The Red Cross says since the campaign's launch in 2014, it has helped to save lives in Western New York by installing more than 30,000 free smoke alarms.
