Elementary and middle schools to promote the "Fire Safety" campaign. Fire prevention is an
annual event that is practiced nationwide and generally
takes place during the month of October. The South Fulton Fire Dept will be

the fire station anytime you would like a tour and to
pick up any fire prevention materials they may have
available.
