Pullman, WALocal News

The City of Pullman Fire Department is collaborating with the National Fire Protection Association to promote Fire Prevention Week from October 6 to 12, focusing on the vital role of working smoke alarms in saving lives. The campaign, titled "Smoke alarms: Make them work for you! ™," underscores that smoke alarms can reduce the risk of dying in a home fire by over 54%. Alarmingly, three out of five fire deaths occur in homes lacking functional smoke alarms. The article provides key safety guidelines, recommending the installation of smoke alarms in every bedroom and testing them monthly to ensure effectiveness.

A family-friendly event is scheduled for October 12, featuring a smoke-filled bedroom simulation and various fire prevention activities. Participants will also receive free fire prevention supplies, generously provided by State Farm Insurance. This initiative is designed to enhance community awareness and education regarding essential fire safety practices. By engaging residents in hands-on learning, the Pullman Fire Department aims to foster a safer living environment for all.
