Body
BACKGROUND:
The Farmers Branch Fire Department will be busy throughout the month of October presenting fire prevention programs in the community. They will be talking to residents about planning and practicing a home escape plan and the importance of working smoke alarms as those who prepare are more likely to survive a fire.
Fire Department personnel will be visiting Farmers Branch schools to teach grades pre-kindergarten through fifth grade about fire safety at home and how to react if a fire occurs.
To further promote the Fire Prevention Month theme of "Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives," the Fire Department is sponsoring the 19th Annual Fire Prevention Poster Contest for all third grade students in Farmers Branch elementary schools. The winners of the poster contest will be announced at the November 18, 2014 City Council meeting.
The following proclamation has been prepared proclaiming October 2014 as "Fire Prevention Month" in Farmers Branch, Texas.
