| Since 1922, the NFPA has sponsored the public observance of Fire Prevention Week. During Fire Prevention Week, children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a fire. Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage.
This year’s Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW™) campaign, “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention™,” works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe when cooking.
The Glen Moore Fire Company will hold its annual Fire Prevention Open House on Wednesday 10/11/2023 from 6:30pm - 8:30pm at the firehouse. There will be demonstrations, fire truck rides, hands-on activities, and presentations on fire safety. Firefighters and members of the Glen Moore Fire Company will be available to answer questions and talk with any community members who might be interested in joining us.
Parents - please be sure to let your children know that the firefighters from the GMFC will be at the Springton Manor Elementary School on Tuesday 10/10/2023 to review fire safety and fire prevention! |
