Home Fire Safety Brigade

April 22, 2017

10:00 AM - 01:00 PM EDT

Cleveland Platoon

Event overview

Join us as we team up with The American Red Cross to conduct free smoke alarm installations and fire safety education in your community. Did you know that 7 people die every day as a result of a home fire? Did you know that 60% of home fire deaths occur in homes that lack working smoke alarms? The American Red Cross has already saved 111 lives by installing smoke alarms and providing fire safety education across the country! **We will meet at the Maple Heights Fire Department (Address will be provided soon)** After meeting, our brief and instructions will be given promptly at 1000. After the brief we can car pull to the neighborhoods to start the process. We will also divide up into 2-3 person teams and can expect each house to take about 15 minutes. After completion we will return to the fire house for a debrief. Once complete, we'll head to a local establishment for some appetizers for all those who can attend!

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
