Red Cross Delivers Fire Safety Education with Martin Luther King Day of Service
BELLE GLADE, Fla. (January 23, 2013) — The Red Cross Palm Beaches-Treasure
Coast region continues its commitment to the Lake Region with volunteers set to fan out
across Belle Glade, South Bay, Pahokee and Canal Point on Saturday, January 26, to
deliver lifesaving fire safety tips to residents as part of a Martin Luther King Day of
Service initiative. Volunteers will go door-to-door from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. talking to
neighbors who are available, and will leave safety-tip door hangers for people who are
not at home. The door hangers, printed in both English and Spanish, provide cooking
and heating tips, highlighting the importance of smoke alarms and the need to create
and practice a fire escape plan. The Red Cross has partnered with Palm Beach County
Fire Rescue to coordinate the effort out of the Red Cross Belle Glade office and
firefighters will accompany volunteers as they canvass the region.
