“Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With!”  is the National Fire Prevention Association’s official theme for Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 3-9.  Local area volunteer fire departments will be working together to call attention to the theme and encourage families to make a fire safe plan.
Firemen will visit the Mount Vernon Elementary School Tuesday, Oct. 5, and they will visit the local day care facilities and Head Start program site Thursday, Oct. 7.
This year’s campaign is designed to educate people about the importance of smoke alarms. It encourages everyone to take the steps necessary to update and maintain their home smoke alarm protection. See the Sept. 30 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald for more information.
