🚨 York neighbors — help us save lives on Saturday, June 6. 🚨

The American Red Cross and community partners are coming together for a day of service focused on home fire safety in the NENA (Northeast Neighborhood Association) neighborhood.

📍 Event Central: Mars Park, 201 N. State St.
🗓 Saturday, June 6, 2026
⏰ 9:15 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

We need:
✅ Volunteers to help install smoke alarms
✅ Households to sign up for FREE smoke alarm installations and fire safety education

During the event, trained teams will:
• Install free smoke alarms
• Help families create home fire escape plans
• Share fire and flood preparedness resources

Because same-day installations are not guaranteed, residents are encouraged to reserve an appointment ahead of time.

This effort is made possible through the American Red Cross, SERVPRO of York City, York City Fire Department, Latinos Unidos, Mars Park, and community partners working together to keep York families safe.
