Fire Prevention

National Fire Prevention Week

National Fire Prevention Week is observed in the United States during the week in which October 9 falls. In the United States, the first Presidential proclamation of Fire Prevention Week was made in 1925 by President Calvin Coolidge.

Fire Prevention Week commemorates the Great Chicago Fire. The non-profit NFPA, which has officially sponsored Fire Prevention Week since its inception, selects the annual theme.

Fire Prevention Programs

Fire prevention is not just for kids; we offer programs for senior centers, scout troops, and other community organizations.

Fire prevention programs may be scheduled by submitting a request to the Fire Marshal’s Office at least two weeks in advance. For more information,  email the Fire Marshal’s Office or call (281) 291-5787.
