**FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2025**

🗓️October 5th – October 11th

This week, communities across the nation observe Fire Prevention Week, a time dedicated to raising awareness about fire safety and the steps we can all take to protect our homes, families, and neighbors.

Fire Prevention Week is held each year during the week of October 9th in remembrance of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, a tragic event that forever changed how we think about fire safety.

🚨 This year’s theme is: “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home.”
 The campaign educates everyone about using lithium-ion batteries safely, emphasizing the importance of BUYING, CHARGING, and RECYCLING safely to prevent fires.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing:

🔥 Fire safety tips

🚒 A look at our officers and department

🧯 Behind-the-scenes training

 👨‍🚒 How you can get involved

The members of the Somers Volunteer Fire Department are proud to serve our town with commitment, courage, and care. Thank you to our volunteers for everything you do!

➡️ Follow along this week as we highlight our department and help YOU prepare for the unexpected. Let’s work together to keep Somers safe.
