It is Fire Prevention Week, and St Mary’s started their week a little early on September 28th, until October 9th.
This year the theme is “Get Loud!” as a reminder to test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
From the 28th until the 9th they are having a few different challenges and events, with a colouring contest, a Cindy’s Law “Fire Extinguisher Giveaway”, a chance to meet Sparky and some firefighters at Your Independent Grocers, and door to door visits with swag bags.
Throughout the week the Fire Department will be updating their social media daily with tips and tricks about the sounds of fire safety.
The full schedule can be found below:
