DYK, it’s only 17 weeks until the beginning of National Fire Prevention Week 2019? Hard to believe, right? Seems like it was just last week (But truth be known, it should seem like it was just last week, as every week should be Fire Prevention Week, am I right?).
So, what will you and your department be doing come that first full week in October? Station open house? Demonstrations using a residential fire sprinkler simulator? Giving away coloring books and plastic helmets and Junior Fire Marshal badges?
None of those activities, and probably most of the others that fire departments undertake as fire prevention activities, during National Fire Prevention Week are really teaching people how to avoid becoming a victim of a preventable fire. Period.
Learn what you and your department can learn from some of the "rock stars" of fire and life safety education in this blog post, the first of four this week:
