Expert Statements

Lillian Bonsignore, FDNY Commissioner

“The first step in fire safety education is prevention. Every day, our first responders see the devastating consequences of fire and CO emergencies. Many of these emergencies can be prevented with early detection. Having working alarms in every home is not just a recommendation; it is a critical lifeline. We are incredibly grateful for programs like Kidde’s Cause For Alarm that equip New Yorkers with the tools and knowledge they need to help protect themselves and their loved ones.”

Noah Schnacky, Country music singer-songwriter and content creator

“I am incredibly proud to join the Cause For Alarm Home Safety Forum to support a mission I truly believe in: helping families stay safe. Our rescue workers put their lives on the line every day, which reminds us that true safety begins with prevention. By encouraging families to take simple steps to ensure their smoke and CO alarms are working, we can help prevent emergencies before they start.”

Isis Wu, President of Global Residential Fire & Safety at Kidde

“At Kidde, we believe every family deserves access to the tools, education and protection needed to help keep their loved ones safe. By bringing together community leaders, first responders and industry partners, we're helping turn awareness into action. Through education, partnerships and increased access to smoke and CO alarms, we can help close critical safety gaps and help make every home a safer home.”
