Fire Prevention Week is October 4th – October 10th
Local firefighters all over NW Arkansas and the American Red Cross are kicking off National Fire Prevention Week by promoting basic safety tips that could save lives during a fire.
Arkansas averages four fires per day throughout the entire state. It also ranks as the third deadliest in the country, according to FEMA. Making sure there’s working batteries inside of a smoke detector could make a difference in saving your life, and your home. This year’s theme is “Hear The Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm“.
