October is Fire Prevention Month! The goal of Fire Prevention Month (and week October 9th - 15th) is to raise fire safety awareness, and help ensure your home and family is protected. In 1922, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) named the second week of October Fire Prevention Week in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. Today, we celebrate Fire Prevention Week and Month by raising fire safety awareness and educating families, students and communities across the United States. During this month, fire departments provide education to their communities, and encourage parents and loved ones to practice fire prevention and whole home safety.
First Alert has been educating and protecting homes and families since 1958. We urge you to practice whole home safety, so you and your family are prepared not only during Fire Prevention Week, but throughout the entire year. Having functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors installed throughout your home is the first line of defense for fire prevention. They work around the clock to provide your family an early alert in the event of an emergency, helping to provide you time to safely escape. Smoke and CO alarms should be placed on every level of the home, including the basement, as well as inside and outside each bedroom to keep your home and family safe. Fire extinguishers should also be placed on every level of the home, especially in the kitchen and garage.
Auburn University's Campus Fire Safety Month (CFSM) is an annual university event during the month of September that coincides with the National Campus Fire Safety Month, which is an initiative founded by the Center for Campus Fire Safety to raise fire and life safety awareness on campuses. The CFSM at Auburn University is hosted by Risk Management & Safety's Fire Safety Program, and the inaugural event was held in 2016. The goal of the event is to help students have a greater awareness of the dangers of dormitory, residence hall and/or off-campus housing-related fires, and the steps they can take to prevent them or, if need be, survive them.
During the month of September, CFSM awareness activities are held on the Auburn University campus for each of the four weeks to kick off the start of the new school year with safety at the forefront. Students, faculty and staff are exposed to a wide variety of fire and life safety topics, tips, hands-on training opportunities and fun activities - some hosted in conjunction with other Auburn University units and/or local first responders and fire departments - throughout the month of September.
Participating in the National Fire Prevention Week, and to kick off a month-long series of community outreach events, GBFD will visit the students and faculty at Increase Miller Elementary School to promote fire safety education and fire awareness. 2ff7e9595c
