October National Fire Prevention Month
October is designated as Fire Prevention Month, with the goal of raising fire safety awareness and educating the public on how to prevent fires. The observance originated in the U.S. to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, and the second week of October is recognized as Fire Prevention Week. During this month, fire departments share fire safety tips and provide educational resources for families and communities.
Our Parkview students learned from local firefighters from Orfordville, Footville, and Beloit about staying safe at home and school—checking smoke alarms, making escape plans, and calling 911. Thank you for keeping our community safe!
