Fire Safety Resources: October

Image
  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.
