Fire Prevention Week

Did You Know...

Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th, in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire.
NFPA is celebrating Fire Prevention Week, which will be held October 5-11, 2025.
The 2025 Fire Prevention week campaign is "Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home."
Following safe practices when purchasing, charging, and disposing of lithium-ion batteries can help prevent fire hazards in your homes.

Fire is Fast! You could have less than 2 minutes to get out safely, once your smoke alarms sound.
Smoke alarms sense smoke well before you can, alerting you to danger.
Smoke alarms need to be in every bedroom, outside of the sleeping areas, and on each level of your home.
Knowing two ways out of every room is an important piece of your home fire escape plan.
Have an outside meeting place, that is a safe distance from your home, where everyone should meet.
