Fire Prevention Week Open House

Don’t Miss It”

The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Fire Prevention Week is scheduled for October 8th – 14th. "Prevent Cooking Fires: Watch What You Heat" — that's the message of this year's Fire Prevention Week (FPW). From October 8-14, we'll be spreading the word that more fires start in the kitchen than in any other part of the home — and teaching families and kids how to keep cooking fires from starting in the first place.” According to the NFPA “there were 118,700 home structure fires associated with cooking equipment in 2003. These fires caused 250 deaths and 3,880 injuries.”
