Safe Kids USA is sponsoring a Pre-School Fire Safety Contest.  The contest running through February is for preschool teachers to teach children about how to escape a home fire.  Teachers can win prizes of $500 or $100 for educational rescources based on their implementation of a lesson plan and parent homework.  We encourage all teachers to indicate that they heard about the contest from  Central Shenandoah Valley Safe Kids when filling out the online application.  Register online at http://safekids.org.  Go to the right side of the page and click on Fire and Burn Safety.  For more information contact Wanda Willis, Fire Prevention Specialist for the Harrisonburg Fire Department at 540-432-7703. 

The Harrisonburg Fire Department supports the use of Residential Fire Sprinklers. 

Every year more than 3,000 citizens are killed in residential fires.  Residential fire sprinklers can save money for developers, builders and communities.  According to the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition, installing both working smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system reduces the risk of death in a home fire 82%.  For more information go to http://www.homefiresprinkler.org.
