Fire Prevention Week Oct.
5-11, 2008
Your home should be a safe
haven. But do you regularly check for home fire hazards? If not, there
is the potential for danger. Fire departments responded to nearly
400,000 home fires in 2006. That’s why the theme of Fire Prevention Week
2008 is “It’s Fire Prevention Week:
Prevent Home Fires!”
From October 5-11, 2008, fire
safety advocates will spread the word to their communities that, with a
little extra caution, preventing the leading causes of home fires –
cooking, heating, electrical and smoking-materials – is within their
power.
