Fast Facts

• The American Red Cross of Greater Columbus responded to 400 disasters last year, the majority of which were home fires. 
  
• Every two hours someone in the US loses their life in a home fire, totaling roughly 3,000 people each year. 
  
• Young children are the most at risk as fire is the leading cause for unintentional deaths for those under the age of five. 

Tragically, all of this loss, suffering and even death are caused by disasters that can often be prevented. As America's partner in preparedness, the American Red Cross strives to help families prevent and prepare for fires, our nation's number one disaster.

The American Red Cross has teamed with the following supporters to launch a multifaceted Fire Prevention Campaign during the month of October. These organizations have generously donated resources to promote fire prevention through billboards, radio, television and street marketing activities. The American Red Cross would like to extend a thank you to these supporters for exposing the greater Columbus community these lifesaving fire prevention messages.
