National Fire Safety week begins today, October 7, 2012 By Kenneth Clayton Building and home inspector, Liberty, KY National Fire Safety week, October 7-13, 2012 is dedicated to the awareness and education for fire safety. This week is also a time to remember the fallen firefighters who have given their lives in the service to their community. Throughout our nation during 2011 eighty (80) firefighters have lost their lives as they carried out their public service. Four Kentucky fire fighters were killed during this period, they are:
The national tribute is sponsored by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) and the Department of Homeland Security. More than 6,000 people, including Members of Congress, Administration officials and other dignitaries, members of the fire service, and families and friends of the fallen firefighters will attend the event. Families will receive flags flown over the U. S. Capitol and the National Memorial. Members of the fire service, honor guard units and pipe and drum units from across the U.S. will participate in this national tribute. Fire departments and their places of worship will join the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) for the Second Annual Bells Across America for Fallen Firefighters, part of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend in Emmitsburg, Maryland. For the second year, bells will ring from coast to coast as a grateful nation pauses on Sunday, October 7, 2012 to honor those firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2011. Every year an estimated 50,100 heating fires in residential buildings occur in the United States each year and result in an annual average of approximately 150 deaths, 575 injuries, and $326 million in property loss. I am a Casey County, KY resident and my business involves fire prevention. I want to urge everyone taking steps to prevent fires, especially at this time of the year as we enter the fire season: Check to see that smoke detectors are working and get one or replace as needed. Check your smoke detector by replacing batteries and cleaning away dust, dirt or webs from the detector. If a smoke detector is over 10 years old it is recommended that it be replaced with a detector that combines two detection technologies. Newer detectors are more effective. - Kenneth Clayton This story was posted on 2012-10-07 11:11:38
