During an out-of-the-blue phone call, Denine, a volunteer with the Red Cross in Wallowa County, Oregon, received a heartfelt thank you from a woman named Chris. Chris explained to Denine that a few nights earlier she was roused from a deep sleep by the piercing squeal of a smoke alarm – one fresh from the packaging and installed just a few months earlier by Red Cross volunteers.
