In recognition of Fire Prevention Week (October 7-13, 2012), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program want to take this opportunity to formally recognize the dedication of all members of the Fire and Emergency Medical Service communities. Your hard work and support of the AFG Programs have not only enabled you to better protect your personnel and citizens, they also have contributed to a much greater level of emergency preparedness throughout our country.
The theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week is Have Two Ways Out! Please visit the the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) website for more campaign information, which you can share with your communities: http://www.usfa.fema.gov/campaigns/smokealarms/escapeplans/index.shtm.
