Representatives from the American Red Cross, MIRA USA, the Dover Fire Department, Mayor James Dodd, Councilmember Claudia Toro, additional local government officials, and community volunteers took part in the activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Day of Service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event commenced at 8:45 a.m. with volunteer registration and team coordination. Each team consisted of one American Red Cross volunteer and three MIRA USA volunteers, all of whom had received prior training to ensure a safe and efficient experience. Responsibilities included providing fire-safety education, inspecting existing alarms, and installing new smoke detectors in the homes visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Community Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the dedication of 43 MIRA USA volunteers, the campaign reached 132 homes, installed 106 smoke detectors, and benefited 420 residents. Community feedback highlighted the value of the initiative, with comments such as,&nbsp;<em>\u201cI am completely satisfied with the help\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>\u201cYou are doing excellent work for the Dover community.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volunteer Recognition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude the day, the American Red Cross honored MIRA USA volunteers with a commemorative cake as a gesture of appreciation for their commitment and service. This symbolic moment captured the spirit of collaboration and solidarity that defined the entire effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MIRA USA extends its sincere gratitude to all who contributed to the success of this campaign. We remain steadfast in our commitment to prevention, safety, and the well-being of our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"28331\" src=\"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250315_112910-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250315_112910-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250315_112910-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250315_112910-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250315_112910-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250315_112910-2048x1151.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"577\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"28330\" src=\"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover2-577x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover2-577x1024.jpg 577w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover2-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover2-768x1364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover2-865x1536.jpg 865w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover2-1153x2048.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover2-scaled.jpg 1441w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"577\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"28329\" src=\"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover-577x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover-577x1024.jpg 577w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover-768x1364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover-865x1536.jpg 865w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover-1153x2048.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/mirausa.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/V-Dover-scaled.jpg 1441w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 15, 2025, volunteers from MIRA USA chapters in Elizabeth, Paterson, and Dover joined the American Red Cross for an impactful community event as part of the\u00a0Home Fire Prevention [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":28332,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1099],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-en-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28334"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28335,"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28334\/revisions\/28335"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirausa.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
