MOLINE, Illinois -- People in the Quad Cities have the opportunity to get free smoke detectors installed in their homes.
"Sound The Alarm" is a one-day event sponsored by WQAD News 8 where the American Red Cross and local volunteers help people in the community get the fire-safety equipment they need.
Wednesday, March 20 is registration day. Tune into WQAD both on TV and online to sign up for your free smoke detectors. If you already have smoke detectors, you can sign up for free battery replacements.
You can register on Wednesday, March 20, between 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. All you have to do is pick up the phone and dial 309-277-4040.
In 2018, the Quad Cities local chapter of the Red Cross installed 700 smoke detectors into 500 homes.
