Fire Prevention Week

2008

Fire Prevention Week is October 5-11, 2008.

This year's theme is around preventing home fires. Our focus will be on smoke detectors awareness--maintaining them, testing them and replacing them. 

Watch for details about "Reading with Firefighters" at the Appleton Public Library, our school visit initiative and other activities. 

More will be coming!

2007

Fire Prevention Week was October 7-13, 2007. 

This year's theme was "Practice Your Home Escape Plan.” 

This year one of the promotions we did to get the word out about Fire Prevention Week was to partner with WVBO, Dominos Pizza and Northside Hardware. We made several stops in the city throughout the week. Free smoke detector batteries were given away (thanks to Lee at Northside Hardware) as well as coupons for free breadsticks (thanks to Dominos pizza!). The winners of our Fire Prevention prize packages:

Grand Prize: Debby Smith
Debby won a fire prevention package and a free pizza package donated by Dominos pizza and delivered by Appleton Firefighters. See photos of this event. 

2nd place: Richard Girard
3rd place: Vicki Ebelt
Both won fire prevention packages including fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detectors. 

Thanks to everyone who joined us!
