Fire Prevention Week Oct 8 – 14, 2023

Thank you to all our First Responders that risk so much to help the New Cumberland Borough community! We appreciate you!

PAY ATTENTION TO FIRE PREVENTION

This year’s Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW™) campaign, “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention™,” works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe when cooking. Watch the Cooking Safety video below.

IMPORTANCE OF FIRE PREVENTION – Plan your Home Fire Escape

In a fire, mere seconds can mean the difference between a safe escape and a tragedy. Fire safety education isn’t just for school children. Teenagers, adults, and the elderly are also at risk in fires, making it important for every member of the community to take some time every October during Fire Prevention Week to make sure they understand how to stay safe in case of a fire.
