The Red Cross is offering free fire alarms to homes as the number of home fires increase.
Red Cross officials say they’ve responded to more than 500 home fires already this year; that’s up 12 percent compared to last year.
They also say Pennsylvania led the country with the highest number of people that died as a result of a house fire last year.
The free fire alarms can be found online at SoundTheAlarm.org. The program runs through the end of the month, which is also Red Cross Month.
