BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — Home fires claim seven lives every day in the U.S., but having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half. Cindy Huge from the American Red Cross highlighted the importance of smoke alarms and introduced a free installation program for the Taft area. “We want to ensure every home has the protection it needs,” Huge said. The program aims to provide residents with the necessary tools to prevent fire-related tragedies.
