Every fall we remind Brockton residents of the importance of fire safety with our Fire Prevention Week programming.
This year’s Fire Prevention Week is October 9 to 15, 2022, stay tuned for the campaign! 
In 2021, Fire Prevention Week focused on the theme, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety!” working to educate everyone about the different sounds smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make. Knowing what to do when an alarm sounds will keep you and your family safe. When an alarm makes noises – a beeping sound or a chirping sound – you must take action.
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make different sounds. Check the back and read the manual that came with it to know the sound of fire safety. Get Loud and test your alarms! Both replaceable and sealed battery style alarms should be tested regularly to ensure they're working correctly. Early detection is the best defence should a fire occur.
