Orleans Municipal Fire Gearing Up For Fire Prevention Month Awareness
The time has come for us to start thinking Fire Prevention!
Did you know that October is National Fire Prevention month? To be more specific, Sunday October 9th – Saturday October 15th, is National Fire Prevention week. We here at the Orleans Fire Department have started to prep and stock up for different events where we are forwarded the opportunity and responsibility to spread the word about Fire Prevention.
We will start off with the Fall Fun Fest on Congress Square October 8th with our annual Corn Hole tournament, and walking tacos! Fire Chief Ronald Roach will be out in the crowd talking with families about the importance of Fire Safety. He might even have some special things to give the kiddos!
On October 25th, members of the Orleans Fire Department will be presenting their Fire Prevention program to the children at Orleans Elementary School. During this program, children will witness first-hand what a firefighter looks like in all of their gear. They will also learn about fire safety plans, and how to determine if there is fire behind their door. We discuss things like having 2 ways out of every room, and the number to call for help!
We will be at the firehouse handing out candy and other goodies during the town wide Halloween event. Please stop by and meet your local firefighters, and maybe even meet Sparky the fire dog! The firehouse is directly behind the Orleans Townhall at 161 East Price Ave.
If you, your family, church group, or even business would like more information about Fire Prevention and safety, please contact us at 812-865-2887, and we will set a time for a program. We here at the Orleans Fire Department have a driving passion to keep everyone in our community informed and safe. We look forward to meeting with you.
