Annual National Fire Prevention Week

In October of each year our department presents an educational program in the classrooms of Kindergarten through 6th grade. Fire Safety and Fire Prevention in the home are the main topics and the kids are taught how to prevent fires in their home, EDITH (exit drills in the home), stop, drop, and roll, matches/lighter safety, dialing 911, firefighters are their friends, and the importance of smoke detectors in your home. We also run a home exit drill contest with this program in hopes the kids take home what they have learned in their classrooms and share it with their family.
