GIBBY HOME FIRE PREVENTION

All donations are used to spread the word about home fire prevention through community events and social media, impact legislation, and purchase smoke alarms which we install for free for anyone who needs them.

"GIBBY, I'VE NEVER MET YOU. YOU DON'T KNOW IT, BUT YOU MAY HAVE SAVED MY LIFE. Your dad came today and installed 4 smoke alarms in my house in your honor. I'm on disability with a very limited income and couldn't have afforded them otherwise. I won't forget you, dear Gibby. Or the kind heart of your dad either. I only wish I could have met you in this life. My sincerest condolences to your family"", - Smoke Alarm Recipient, Snohomish, WA

INSTALL ALARMS

Our Mission

IT'S A WRAP! CLOSING DOORS.
After 9 years and installing more than 7,000 smoke alarms, we are wrapping up this mission. We will continue to always be an advocate for home fire prevention, but the Gibby organization is no longer open as of August 2025.

We appreciate all of the support we have received from fire fighters, the Red Cross, sponsors, volunteers, and friends.

Please go here for ongoing Red Cross volunteer and donation opportunities to prevent home fires. Thank you!
