Fire Prevention Week: October 8 – 14, 2023

Cooking Safety Starts With You

This year’s Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW™) campaign, “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention™,” works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe when cooking. 

Did you know? Cooking fires are the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of cooking fires and deaths.

What can you do? The good news is you can prevent most cooking fires and burns. Help keep your family safer with some simple but effective tips.

You’ll find lots of educational resources to make sure that every person knows what to do in case of a fire on www.nfpa.org. You’ll have everything from apps to videos to printables and much more, to make sure you have the resources you need to keep your family, your community, and your city safe.
