Facts

Did you know that firefighting is one of the most dangerous professions in the world? Every day these men and women battle one of the most violent killers known to civilization.


Fire kills more people per million than most diseases do.  More children, 9 years old and younger, die in fire than in any other age category.
 

Almost all of these deaths can be avoided.  By sticking to some simple rules people can protect themselves and the ones they love from becoming fire victims.

  • Don't play with fire, matches or anything else that will create a flame or heat.
     
  • Know how to exit from your house or school in case of fire.
     
  • Know how to call the Fire Department and report a fire or any other emergency.
