A Message from your American Red Cross, Andrew County Health Department and the Savannah Fire Department

The American Red Cross of Northwest Missouri, the Andrew County Health Department and the Savannah Fire Department are teaming up to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by home fires by ensuring all homes in Andrew County have working smoke alarms. 

On average 36 people suffer injuries as a result of home fires every day. Last year, in Northwest Missouri, the Red Cross responded to more than 100 fires.
