⏰ 2 minutes

Many families have just 2 minutes to escape a home fire. [Match my gift]( [Match my gift]( {NAME}, reading this message will take about 2 minutes. For families who are forced to flee their home during a fire, that’s all the time they have to safely escape. Just 2 minutes to notice the encroaching flames or react to the smoke, gather their loved ones and make it outside. Home fires are our nation’s most frequent disaster, and every day, they turn the lives of families upside down. That’s why the American Red Cross works around the clock to help communities prepare — whether by installing smoke alarms or offering prevention education — and supports those who have lost everything. And today, we have incredible news: Our generous partner, Suburban Propane, has agreed to match all donations up to $200,000 — meaning that your gift today will have twice the lifesaving impact. So please: [Will you give now to help us reach our $200,000 Home Fire Match goal?
