The Sellersville Fire Department's Fire Safety and Education mission is to mitigate the threat to life and property throughout the Sellersville community with the delivery of quality education, prevention and preparedness.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 2024 Fire Prevention Week will begin on Sunday, October 6th through Saturday, October 12th.  

What is Fire Prevention Week? Fire Prevention Week is an annual event sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).  The event takes place over a week every October to educate about the simple but necessary actions people can take to keep themselves and those around them safe in case of a fire.

During this week, there are several events and talks held to help students, teachers, and adults learn how to stay safe in case of a fire. Firefighters provide this important education in an attempt to decrease the number of casualties by fire each year.

Take this as an opportunity to talk about fire safety with your family and ensure your family and friends are all more confident in the case of a fire emergency.

When did Fire Prevention Week start? Fire Prevention Week first started in 1922, and the NFPA has sponsored it every year since.  In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed it a national observance - meaning that it's now the longest-running national observance in the country.
