Does your department spread the fire safety message only during Fire Prevention Week? If so, you are missing out on valuable opportunities for instilling safety in your community all year long.

Contact your local print media about writing a fire safety column, or offer to have someone in your department write a guest editorial. College and high school newspaper reporters are often looking for practice in writing articles. Contact them about interviewing a knowledgeable fire department member.
