Fire Prevention Week 2009

Fire Prevention Week is October 4 - 10, 2009. The theme this year is “Stay Fire Smart! Don’t Get Burned”. During Fire Prevention Week fire and life safety educators around the province will bring important safety messages to their community on burn awareness and prevention, as well as keeping homes safe from the leading causes of home fires.

Fire Prevention Week activities are planned in communities across the province. A province-wide Community Fire Drill scheduled on October 7th at 6:30. During that time BC residents are encouraged to test their smoke alarm and practice their escape plan.
