Fire Prevention Week

Fire Prevention Week is an annual initiative focused on promoting fire and burn prevention. In addition to providing an opportunity to discuss fire and burn prevention with the people in your community, it affords students the chance to engage with fire prevention topics.

Bringing the important message of fire and burn prevention into schools and classrooms helps to save lives and prevent painful burn injuries and lifelong suffering. We thank our fire service and education partners for all the work they do to share these messages.

Check back in spring 2025 for more information about Fire Prevention Week 2025.
