Fire Department personnel along with the Branch Brigade Firefighter Clowns will be visiting Farmers Branch schools to teach grades pre-kindergarten through fourth grade about fire safety at home and how to react if a fire occurs. Fifth grade students will be taught Hands-Only CPR and Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) Awareness.
To further promote the fire prevention Month theme of “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere.” The Fire Department is sponsoring the 23rd 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 27th City Council meeting.
The following proclamation has been prepared proclaiming October 2018 as “Fire Prevention Month” in Farmers Branch, Texas.
