Fire Safety Resources: October

 

Ideas for Fire Prevention Week This year, Fire Prevention Week (FPW) is October 3-9. “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety™” focuses on recognizing the different sounds safety devices make when there is a fire or carbon monoxide hazard. Knowing the unique noises, the alarm makes – beeping or chirping – means it is time to act. Use USFA’s free resources to help you plan for your celebrations. If FPW has snuck up on you this year, there is still time to spread the word about fire safety. Deliver home fire escape plan grids or home fire safety checklists to area restaurants. They can include them with their food deliveries. Create a Facebook Live event. A firefighter can walk children through one of Sesame Street’s fire safety lessons or read one of Sparky’s stories. Provide coloring sheets and Let’s Have Fun with Fire Safety to your local schools.
