Safety Is Not The Same for Everyone
Everyone deserves to feel safe and protected in their homes, yet some communities are more at risk for residential fires. This is cause for alarm, and Kidde is on a mission to help protect every moment, for everyone.
DONATE
For every alarm unit purchased at participating retailers and businesses, a $1 contribution will be made towards alarm donations to communities in need up to a total retail value of $1,000,000.

As a world leader in fire safety, we want to rally everyone around this cause.
People everywhere deserve to feel safe and protected at home. That’s why Kidde created Cause For Alarm – a fire education and safety initiative addressing fire safety gaps. We’re on a mission to provide all communities with the necessary support, educational resources and product solutions needed to have a safe and healthy home.
Let’s raise fire safety awareness together to help save lives. We need to take fire safety seriously – take measures to protect, prevent and prepare our families before a fire emergency ever even occurs."

The Cause For Alarm™ campaign was recently launched in the Bronx, New York, with the unveiling of a thought-provoking mural by renowned New York City-based visual artist, Cey Adams. The mural’s intention is to spread awareness, prompt conversation and ultimately inspire change in a community that has been impacted by fire safety inequity first-hand.
FIRE SAFETY RESOURCES
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the lack of access to fire safety educational resources and websites in popular languages spoken in the U.S. contributes to the gap in fire safety. Kidde is committed to providing access to education on home safety basics, product placement guides, emergency plans and more.
