National Fire Prevention Week (October 4 – 10, 2020) is less than 3 weeks away! This year’s theme, “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen” is especially timely with more people cooking at home due to COVID-19. Did you know that cooking is the #1 cause of home fires and related injuries?
Think you don’t have the time or resources to participate? There are numerous free and creative tools that are ready to use (including virtual and physical distancing resources!) in your local communities.
Watch this great webinar that highlights the “out of the box” materials, tools, and creative ideas that you can use. Some of the suggestions are great to apply to other injury prevention topics too!
