9 October - Fire Prevention Day
Smoke alarms may be the focus this year, but there are many other fire safety practices that can keep you safe. Check to make sure your fire extinguishers are operational and the people in your home know how to use them. Matches, lighters, candles and combustible materials should be kept safely away from children. Taking steps like these can help you save lives.
National Fire Prevention Week is observed in the United States and Canada, during the week (from Sunday to Saturday) in which October 9 falls.
In the United States, the first Presidential proclamation of Fire Prevention Week was made in 1925 by President Calvin Coolidge. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) continues to be the international sponsor of the week.
In Canada, Fire Prevention Week is proclaimed annually by the Governor General. The Saturday ending the week is also proclaimed as Fire Service Recognition Day to express appreciation for the many public services rendered by members of the Canadian fire service. While in Australia the Fire Prevention Week is usually held between April 28 to May 5.
