Each toolkit includes resources for Fire Prevention Week (October 4-10, 2020), including brochures, magnets, posters and more. The Fire Department will be sharing these resources with schools and communities this fall in support of the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s Fire Prevention Week campaign, \u201cServe Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen\u201d focuses on cooking fire safety. Home cooking fires represent the leading cause of all fires with nearly half \u2013 49 percent \u2013 happening in the kitchen. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of these fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe good news is that the majority of kitchen fires are highly preventable,\u201d said David, State Farm agent \u201cThese great kits will help our fire departments spread the news to always stay focused when you\u2019re in the kitchen and never leave the kitchen unattended.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key messages around this year\u2019s Fire Prevention Week campaign will include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep a close eye on what you\u2019re cooking; never leave cooking unattended<br>Keep anything that can catch fire \u2014 oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains \u2014 at least three feet away from your stovetop.<br>Be on alert. If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol, don\u2019t use the stove or stovetop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about Fire Prevention Week and this year\u2019s theme, \u201cServe Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen,\u201d visit <a href=\"http:\/\/fpw.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fpw.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special to LFN The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and David Armendariz, State Farm Agent are teaming up with the Los Fresnos Voluntary Fire Department to support Fire Prevention Week, an annual public awareness campaign promoting home fire safety.
