Fire Prevention Week 2023 is from October 8 to 14 and this year’s theme is all about staying safe while cooking. Cooking related fires are a leading cause of home fires and injuries. Sadly, our babies, children, and Elders are at greatest risk. The good news is that most cooking fires are preventable, so this Fire Prevention Week (FPW) let’s reach as many people as possible to keep everyone safe.

To support the good work of our fire departments and reach as many people as possible with these lifesaving messages, we have included resources and materials for Band Offices, Fire Departments, Schools, and Daycare/Preschool to use during FPW and beyond. All materials can be downloaded for printing and distribution, and we are always here to help.
