This year’s FPW campaign, “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere,” works to educate about three basic but essential steps to take to reduce the likelihood of having a fire—and how to escape safely in the event of one:
“LOOK” for places fire could start.
“LISTEN” for the sound of the smoke alarm.
“LEARN” two ways out of every room.
Also, Sparky the Fire Dog has a new friend, Simon, who is helping teach this year’s FPW messages - he’s a smart, resourceful character who will join Sparky in spreading fire-safety messages to adults and children alike.
NFPA’s Sparky and 2018 FPW items are available now through the Firehall Bookstore to help your fire department’s public education programming throughout Fire Prevention Week and all year long!
