  • #SoundTheAlarmKinloch

    Every day, seven people die and another 36 are injured due to a home fire. Sadly, many of these cases could have been prevented with properly working smoke alarms. That is why the Red Cross is ready to Sound the Alarm in our Southern California communities. Sound the Alarm is a national Red Cross campaign consisting of a series of home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events.

    Since 2014, the Red Cross, in partnership with fire departments and other local groups, has visited homes installing free smoke alarms, replacing batteries in existing alarms and providing fire prevention and safety education to prevent needless tragedies. To date, the Red Cross has installed over One Million smoke alarms and saved an estimated 415 lives.

    Join us to Sound the Alarm and help save lives.

    Do You Need a Smoke Alarm?

    If you would like to request a smoke alarm installation please use one of the following options:

    • Kinloch Fire Protection District.
    • Greater St. Louis Chapter of the American Red Cross

  • Kinloch Community CPR

    Picture spending a peaceful sunny day outside at a Park with family and friends.  Suddenly a bystander collapses. Would you know what to do? Do you know who to call?  What if no one around knew how to help this person?

    Kinloch Fire Protection District personnel offers Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training using the American Heart Association Heartsaver curriculum.  After completing the training, individuals receive a 2 year certification and are better prepared to handle many types of medical emergencies. CPR buys critical time while personnel trained in advanced care are en route to the scene. This greatly increases an individual’s chance of survival.  In addition to CPR training, the student will learn how to properly use an Automated External Defibrillator or AED.

    Visit the American Heart Association’s CPR curriculum for more information.
