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.
