National Fire Prevention Week began Sunday (10.09) and marks the safety campaign’s 100th year.
Charles City Fire Chief Eric Whipple says this year’s theme is “Fire Won’t Wait, Plan Your Escape.”
When developing your escape plan, Whipple says time is of the essence.
Whipple also reminds citizens to check smoke alarms to see that they’re operating properly and to keep working fire extinguishers handy.
Fire Prevention Week ends October 15th. On Sunday, October 16th, the Charles City Fire Department will host their annual All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Breakfast.
