🔥 Starting a Fire Prevention Program in Your Department

What does it take?
Starting a Fire Prevention Program doesn’t require a massive budget—just commitment, creativity, and community involvement. The goal is simple: stop fires before they start.

✅ Who Can Do It?

• You – any dedicated firefighter or department member with a passion for education and safety.
• A committee – working together allows for shared ideas, responsibilities, and broader outreach.
• Auxiliary members – they can be invaluable in organizing events, preparing materials, and supporting public education efforts.

📣 What To Do

• Educate the community on fire prevention at every opportunity:
• Visit schools and senior centers.
• Participate in parades and public events.
• Host open houses and safety fairs.
• Learn and share fire safety tips:
• Visit firepreventionnebraskastyle.com for ideas, tools, and printable resources.
• Join the Fire Prevention Class at Fire School to gain hands-on experience and ready-to-go materials.
• Bring back what you learn and put it into action in your hometown.

💡 Why It Matters

“If it’s predictable, it’s preventable.”

Most fires start from common, repeatable causes—cooking, heating, smoking, electrical—and they can be avoided with the right knowledge and behavior. Fire prevention saves lives, property, and resources. Your work in education can make all the difference.
