Did you know? Fire Prevention Week has been recognized for over 100 years. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed it a national observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in the United States.
It is observed each October in remembrance of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Fire safety is for everyone — taking time to learn and practice safety can make all the difference in protecting your home and family. #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #nfpa
Many of the devices we use every day — phones, tablets, laptops, tools, toys, e-bikes, and scooters — are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Simple, safe habits can make a big difference in preventing fires. Learn more at fpw.org #firepreventionweek
