The
South Fulton Fire Dept. visited the South Fulton
Elementary and middle schools in the beginning of the
new year to promote the "Fire Safety" campaign
for the upcoming year. Fire prevention is an
annual event that is practiced nation wide and generally
takes place during the month of October. The fire
department will be taking the "Fire Safety"
teachings with a greater ambition this year, "Fire
prevention should be a household goal" says Chief
Tommy Smith. We're striving to get the public
behind us on this, and we are going to be more
aggressive towards teaching the children about fire
safety". The South Fulton Fire Dept will be
visiting all daycares, schools and there will be open
house during October's Fire Prevention Month. The
fire department encourages you to bring your family to
the fire station anytime you would like a tour and to
pick up any fire prevention materials they may have
available.
