Home fires are tragedies that have been taking the lives of many people, but from now on, we can all put an end to that! The American Red Cross, What’s Trending, iHeartMedia, The Charity Network, and Reveal Project have all teamed up together with many of your favorite celebrities and social media influencers to help save lives. In American Red Cross’s new “2Steps2Minutes” campaign, your favorite internet sensations including GloZell, Frankie Grande, Brittany Furlan, Destorm Power, Twan, Bart Baker and Brodie Smith participated in the “I Can Do It In 2 Minutes” PSA which encourages people to follow 2 steps to safely get out of a home fire: 1. Practice your home fire drill in under two minutes and 2. check your smoke alarms each month.

According to the press release, “Over the course of the campaign, celebrities and social media influencers will promote the important message of 2Steps2Minutes through engaging digital content, PSAs, social media interactions, celebrity-designed merchandise, exclusive auction items, and one-of-a-kind celebrity experiences, all benefitting the Red Cross’s life-saving mission. The campaign will culminate with the fourth installment of What’s Trending’s “Tube-A-Thon” in April, a social-good franchise and telethon for the digital age, at the iHeartRadio Theater in Los Angeles, California.”

Russ Paulsen, who leads community preparedness for the Red Cross, stated, “On an average day, seven of our neighbors die in home fires, and that’s just seven too many. But we can change that.  No miracle, no incredible scientific breakthrough required – just getting the word out and having people take two simple steps.  This campaign is a great way to spread life-saving information.” (source: press release)

By utilizing our company’s key platforms we will provide simple and valuable information about home fire safety and preparedness that will help reduce deaths and injuries by preventable fire accidents — a critical challenge facing the many communities in which we all live and work.” (source: press release)
