Fire Prevention Week is October 7-13, and it is a great opportunity to spread fire prevention and safety messages to your community. One way you can do this is through a Letter to the Editor in your local newspaper. The National Volunteer Fire Council has developed a sample Letter to the Editor you can submit to your local newspaper, or you can develop your own. Let your community know how important it is to practice fire prevention and safety all year long.

 

Throughout Fire Prevention Week, the NVFC will team up with Fire Corps to send out fire prevention and safety tips each day. Forward these tips on to organizations, community groups, and the public to let them know what they can do to stay fire-safe.

 

The theme of this year's Fire Prevention Week is "Practice Your Escape Plan." Learn more about Fire Prevention Week and find other resources, such as radio public service announcements, on the National Fire Protection Association's web site at www.nfpa.org.
