DIXON, CA (MPG) – Did you know that working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death in home fires in half? The City of Dixon and the American Red Cross are holding a free smoke alarm and fire prevention education course from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 25 at the Dixon Senior/Multi-Use Center.

Dixon residents who attend the event can sign up to receive free 10-year smoke alarm installation, alarm checks and a personalized fire escape plan on the day of the Sound the Alarm event.

Residents who don’t need alarms installed or checked can still sign up to receive fire safety tips and help creating a home fire escape plan.
