Why October is Fire Safety Month
Fire Safety Month goes back to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, a massive fire that destroyed thousands of buildings and claimed hundreds of lives. To honor those lost and to help prevent future fires, the National Fire Prevention Week was created and eventually expanded into Fire Safety Month – a full month dedicated to spreading fire safety tips and awareness.
During this month, fire departments, schools, and communities hold events to teach things like using a fire extinguisher, making an escape plane, and understanding the dangers of smoke inhalation. Fire departments responded to over 1.4 million fires in 2020, according to the National Fire Protection Association, showing just how important these efforts are.
