Fire Prevention Week: Safety Tip Day 7 A clean kitchen is a happy kitchen! One way to reduce fire hazards in your kitchen is to keep it clean! Keep your countertops clear of clutter and do dishes along the way while you’re using the kitchen so there’s less work later! Not only does the cleaning get done quicker but the more hazards you can eliminate, the safe your kitchen is for you and yours. ... Thank you for following us these past 7 days for Fire Prevention Week. We hope at least 1 of these daily tips has helped 1 person. Thanks for helping us make a fire smart and fire aware community

Home Safety Program Statistics Blackpool Fire Rescue visited 310 homes over the last 4 weeks. During this time we were able to determine: 37% of residence had no smoke detectors at all... 50% of residence had no carbon monoxide detectors 29 homes required new batteries for smoke detectors (which we also supplied during our visits) If this program saves one life or prevents a structural loss, it’s paid for itself 10x over. Thank you to all Blackpool residents in supporting/ enhancing Fire Life Safety! -M Savage Fire Chief BPFD
