The American Red Cross New Mexico will be in Gallup July 16 promoting the Home Fire Preparedness Campaign, officials said. Gallup Fire Marshal Jesus Morales said Red Cross members and local volunteers will visit neighborhoods at sites that have yet to be determined.

“At no cost, the Red Cross will install smoke alarms at residences,” Morales said. The Gallup Fire Department will assist in the installation.

“It’s something that is done every year,” Morales said.
