Fire Prevention Week
What’s the best way to protect your family from fire? Be ahead of the game, of course. With more than 360,000 home fires reported in the United States in 2009, according to the non-profit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) (there were 269 home fires in San Bernardino County Fire Department’s jurisdiction alone with over $25 million dollars in losses), your best defense is a good offense. That’s why San Bernardino County Fire Department is teaming up with NFPA October 9-15, to let County residents know: “It’s Fire Prevention Week. Protect your Family from Fire!” This year’s campaign focuses on preventing the leading causes of home fires – cooking, heating and electrical equipment, as well as candles and smoking materials. Additionally, it urges people to protect their homes and families with life-saving technology and planning.
