BATON ROUGE — The LSU Red Cross Club, along with community volunteers, went door-to-door installing free smoke alarms on Saturday as a part of their "Sound the Alarm" campaign.

The Red Cross and other volunteers spent around four hours installing smoke alarms for free for residents of Baton Rouge. The event also helped families create fire escape plans in the event of a home fire. 

This event is a part of the Red Cross's year-round effort to prevent tragedies caused by home fires. The organization says home fires are the most frequent disaster it responds to.
