Clifton FMBA 21 Teams Up with Red Cross and Rebuilding Together North Jersey for Fire Safety Day: Volunteers Needed!
Clifton FMBA 21 is proud to partner with Rebuilding Together North Jersey and the American Red Cross for a Fire Safety Day event on Saturday, October 5, 2024. We’ll be joining over 50 volunteers in an effort to increase fire safety by installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in homes located in the Botany Village section of Clifton. Together, we’ll be installing 600 smoke detectors (donated by the Red Cross) equipped with 10-year lithium batteries, as well as carbon monoxide detectors. In addition to installations, we’ll leave educational materials with each homeowner, helping to raise awareness about fire safety.
Date: Saturday, October 5, 2024
Time: Volunteers arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 AM for a light breakfast, followed by a brief training session, a group photo by the fire truck, and team assignments.
Where: Homes on Exchange, James, Lincoln Place, Harrison Place, Arthur, and Cutler Streets.
Support and Partnerships
The American Red Cross is providing tools, equipment, and staff to support our efforts. Columbia Bank and PSE&G have graciously provided funding to make this event possible.
We’ll be working in teams of four, and we’re especially looking for Spanish-speaking volunteers to join each group, as many of the homeowners in the neighborhood may feel more comfortable speaking Spanish. Importantly, our focus will be on installing life-saving detectors and raising awareness of fire safety and carbon monoxide incidents.
