Fire Prevention
|
• The members of the
Jefferson Township Volunteer Fire Company have taken a proactive
approach and are very involved with the Fire Prevention Program in
Jefferson Township. Every year, the fire company puts on an intense fire
prevention program for the students and faculty of the Jefferson
Elementary Center, part of the North Pocono School District. This
program allows students live, up-close, visual demonstrations and first
hand encounters with our firefighters through the program that was
developed in-house.
Over the past few years, we have added onto our program, bringing the
students to the firehouse on a fieldtrip for the day during Fire
Prevention Week. This allows the students an up-close look at "the
firehouse" while getting an educational lesson in fire safety. • Through WNEP-TV's Operation Save-a-Life and a generous donation by Kidde, smoke detectors have been made available to residents of Jefferson Township in need. No one should be without a smoke detector in their home and especially outside of bedrooms. Any citizens requiring smoke detectors is asked to please contact Assistant Chief Jamie Wallace at 689-2829 for more information on how you can receive free smoke detectors. • If you are interested in participating and assisting with our fire prevention program, please contact us as 689-2829. The 2008 Fire Prevention Program will take place October 9 & 10, 2008. |

| • As a reminder to parents, each year, every child that participates in our Fire Prevention Program is awarded a special fire prevention tee shirt that represents the National Fire Prevention theme for that year. For participating in our fire prevention program, students who attend our monthly breakfast and wear their tee shirts eat for free! This discount is available all year around and cycles from October to October. All that is required from you is to show up, with your child wearing the appropriate fire prevention tee shirt for that year. | |
