The National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) and State Farm® are teaming up for the eighth year to promote Fire Prevention Week™, October 6-12 and its fire safety messages among thousands of communities nationwide. NFPA has been the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week - an annual public awareness campaign that works to reduce the public’s risk to home fires - for more than 100 years.
Local fire departments play a key role in bringing Fire Prevention Week to life in their communities each October. In support of these efforts, State Farm is delivering 4,910 Fire Prevention Week toolkits and other fire safety resources to local fire departments in 48 states. Each toolkit includes a host of resources for promoting Fire Prevention Week, including brochures, magnets, posters and more that fire departments will distribute at schools, open houses, and other community events.
"Helping people manage the risks of everyday life is a fundamental part of our mission," said Apsara Sorensen, assistant vice president of Corporate Responsibility at State Farm. "Through our collaboration with NFPA and local fire departments, we are actively working towards increasing awareness about fire prevention."
