Fire Prevention Week is October 3rd - 9th

The goal of Fire Prevention Week is to raise fire safety awareness, and help ensure your home and family is protected. According to the National Fire Protection Association, “this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety!” works to educate everyone about the different sounds the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make. Knowing what to do when an alarm sounds will keep you and your family safe. When an alarm makes noises – a beeping sound or a chirping sound – you must take action.” Check out the book river at the bottom of the Children’s Room page, as well as our display in the Children’s Room, for books about fire prevention and safety.
