Fire Prevention Week (FPW) is observed each year during the week of October 9th to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. This horrific conflagration killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of land. - NFPA

Frederick-Firestone Fire District (FFFD) honors FPW in October by identifying a specific fire risk and educating the community about that risk and how to prevent it. FFFD specifically spends this time in elementary schools, engaging and educating students about the topic. This year's topic is "Charge Into Fire Safety. Safe Charging is a Superpower".
