Proclaim Fire Prevention Week In The 11. S. Is your home a safe haven from fire? It may not be. if you haven’t gone on a hunt for home hazards lately. According to Rich Rodriguez. Fire Chief of the Walkerton Fire Department, over 5.000 people in the United States died in fires in their homes in 1088 (the latest year for which statistics are available), and the majority of those fire deaths could have been prevented bv changing risky behaviors and identifying and removing home fire hazards. “With about 80 percent of all fire deaths in this country occurring in our homes, this year’s Fire Prevention Week message is right on 'he mark.” Rodriqguez says. “The theme. ‘Make Your Place Firesafc: Hunt for Home Hazards." underscores the important role we each have in reducing our risk of having a home fire by pointing out that there are steps we all can take to make our homes firesafc. The first step is going on a hunt for home fire hazards.” Officially kicking off the campaign for Fire Prevention Week. Rodriguez urged the public to participate in firesafety education programs and a community-wide commitment to firesafetv.
