Benton Fire Department Organizes Local Fire Safety Program for Students
A major key in keeping our community safe is awareness and education! With this thought in mind, the Benton Fire Department is working with the National Fire Safety Council, Inc., a 501©(3) non-profit organization, to provide the fire prevention materials for our community through their Annual Fire Prevention Program for the children of Benton. These materials will be extremely effective in providing important information and valuable resources for our community.
Some of the materials we have carefully selected include activity manuals, brochures, booklets, and other valuable teaching aids. A broad range of critical topics are addressed in these materials, including: How to Report a Fire: 911, Home Fire Safety, Crawl Low Below the Smoke, Smoke Alarm, Carbon Monoxide Detectors, Fire Extinguisher Awareness, Burn Prevention, and other community concerns.
The Benton Fire Department will distribute these materials through the presentations, activities, and programs in our community. This information is a great tool to help children, parents, teachers and our community better understand and respond to the challenges and education needed to help protect our citizens every day.
The department is asking for the support of local businesses, by donating to help cover the cost of the materials they will be distributing. Your tax-deductible contribution will be used to provide fire prevention education materials for our local community. All donations are appreciated! In recognition of their generosity, the name or business name will be listed on the materials distributed in our community. Nikky Murdock, state coordinator for the National Fire Safety Council, Inc., will full coordinate the program, including materials, donations, and delivery, along with Fire Marshal Craig Hill. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS THE ONLY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM THAT THE BENTON FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS ENDORSED THIS YEAR. IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY A SIMILAR PROGRAM, PLEASE CALL US AT 501-776-5960. Please accept my sincere thanks and appreciation for your consideration of this worthwhile project. Through our partnership, we will be able to work toward providing a safer community for all our citizens. If you have any questions, contact us at 501-776-5960.
