Fire Prevention Committee
It is the duty of the Fire Prevention Division to “prevent” incidents
that require the response of our fire suppression personnel. It is the job and responsibility of this division to enforce fire codes
and regulations, inspect and abate existing and potential fire hazards, and
to recommend fire prevention standards. This makes the job of a firefighter a lot easier.
The Fire Prevention
Division also conducts year-round public education
programs for the general public, schools, hospitals, industry, business, and
civic and fraternal organizations. This
division makes use of its “Fire Safety House” that is a very valuable
fire safety educational tool. It
is a vital tool in teaching children, as well as adults, the importance of
fire safety in the home. In
addition to the “Fire Safety House,” we also have Flashy. Flashy is our fire dog robot
used in safety presentations to your
children.
During 2004, through the efforts of our Fire Prevention Chief,
Assistant Fire Prevention Chief, and our Fire Inspectors, the Fire Prevention
Division has been very productive in educating the general public in fire
safety.
