The Common Voices Advocates are working hard to raise our nation’s awareness of fire’s deadly impact. Each of the advocates has first-hand experience with the effects of fire, having lost a family member in a fire, or being a burn survivor themselves. Their stories are real and their message is one of hope for our nation.
