Fire Prevention Week serves as a vital reminder of the importance of fire safety and prevention in our communities. Observed annually to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, this week is dedicated to raising awareness about fire hazards and educating the public on how to prevent fires and protect themselves and their families. Through community outreach, educational programs, and safety demonstrations, Fire Prevention Week aims to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to reduce the risk of fire and ensure a safer environment for everyone. By fostering a culture of preparedness and vigilance, we honor the legacy of those who suffered loss and work together to create a future where fire-related tragedies are minimized.
