Red Cross Teams Up With the Museum!

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 19:01:00 GMT

On the morning of Wednesday, April 12, the Long Island Red Cross and its community partners National Grid US, PSEG Long Island, AAA Northeast, New York Cancer & Blood Specialists rallied at the Nassau County Firefighters Museum & Education Center in Uniondale, N.Y.. From here, volunteers from the Red Cross and local community groups fanned out into the homes of Hempstead, West Hempstead, South Hempstead, Uniondale and Roosevelt to install free smoke alarms that were pre-registered days and weeks prior.

This event marked the kick-off of “Sound the Alarm,” an annual series of Red Cross events to make communities safer by offering free smoke alarms and fire safety education.

“It turned out to be a truly humbling and inspiring day of service this past Wednesday, when 90 Red Cross volunteers, board members, corporate partners and two distinguished elected officials joined us to kick off our Greater New York Region’s Sound the Alarm lifesaving program. It was an epic day filled with humanitarian efforts.” said Long Island Red Cross CEO Jose Dominguez.

By day’s end, 401 smoke alarms were installed in 75 homes due to the tireless efforts of Red Cross volunteers, staff and community partners.

Spring Into Safety!

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 18:54:00 GMT

Spring is on the way, and we can expect longer days and warmer weather. And as Long Islanders prepare to set their clocks forward one hour on, Sunday, March 12, for Day Light Savings Time, the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center is reminding residents to take this opportunity check their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to ensure their homes are properly protected.

“Smoke alarms are the single most importance appliance found in every home,” said Chief John Murray, Chief Instructor, Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center. “We urge all Long Islanders to conduct routine, simple maintenance to ensure these lifesaving devices are in proper order.”

If alarms have removeable batteries, those batteries should be replaced at this time. Alarms equipped with sealed-in batteries should be tested to ensure they are in proper working condition. Alarms that are more than 10 years old should always be replaced.

“We strongly encourage all Long Islanders to install 10-year smoke alarms, which cannot be easily deactivated, and make sure there are two detectors installed on every level of the home and in all bedrooms.” said Chief Murray. “Equally important is installing and maintaining carbon monoxide alarms, which are also critical in protecting life.”

According to research from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), three of every five home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms, and the vast majority of smoke alarm failures are due to dead or missing batteries. Ten-year smoke alarms require little maintenance, and unlike alarms with removable batteries, they are nearly impossible to deactivate. Regardless of the type of alarm in one’s home, the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center is urging everybody to take some time and ensure their alarms are in proper working order.

Smoke & CO Alarm Tips:

Test alarms at least once a month by using the test button.
If you have an alarm with a removable battery, be sure to check the batteries every six months, and change the batteries every year. If a battery is starting to lose its power, the unit will usually chirp to warn you. Do NOT disable the unit.
Vacuum or blow out any dust that might have accumulated in the unit.
NEVER borrow a battery from an alarm to use somewhere else.
NEVER paint a smoke or CO alarm.
Install at least two smoke alarm on every floor of your home, including the basement, and in, or near each sleeping area/bedrooms.
Smoke alarms should not be installed near a window because drafts could interfere with their operation.
Families should also develop and practice a home fire escape plan.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for testing smoke alarms and replacing the batteries.
