This year’s theme, as I know you are aware, is “It’s Fire Prevention Week: Prevent Home Fires!” We will be asking the Chief's to highlight some quick tips as it relates to cooking, heating, electrical and smoking related fire prevention. In addition, we want to continue to bang home the message to families in the region that they need to have a home fire escape plan. Toward that end, we will also be conducting a unique demo with the crew at FX Co FS39-B and some local school kids. Below, please find some photos of a simulated home maze (for lack of a better term) that the personnel at FS39 are constructing for their upcoming Open House during FPW. The demo will involve this structure as well as a simulated smoke machine that should clearly show the general public why and how to stay low and go and evacuate your house if it were to catch fire. Hats off to Captain JT Harrison and his shift for the initiative to develop an innovative and interactive educational tool that goes above and beyond the norm!
