| FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Fire Prevention Week is a nationally observed week in the United States that started originally in 1911 (as fire prevention day) to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire |
| By Brookline Volunteer Fire Company - Station 35 | |
| October 6, 2025 | |
| Beginning 100 years ago President Calvin Coolidge began a full week of fire prevention activities due to nearly 15,000 fire deaths in 1924 and the need for increased awareness of fire safety. Each year is highlighted by a theme in which information is highlighted on throughout the week. This year’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home”. Please join us at the fire house Friday night between 630-8pm for our annual open house! Meanwhile, members are spending the week visiting schools in the area spending time with students discussing all aspects of fire safety. |
