Salisbury Fire Department

Beginning today, Monday 5 October, the SFD will be out visiting schools within its fire district in an effort to spread its fire prevention and safety message.  A special task force will be visiting all the local schools and making a fire safety presentation, while on-duty crews will be visiting local day care establishments in an effort to ensure small children do not fear firefighters who may need to respond to an emergency at their residence.  Ronald McDonald will make his annual appearance tomrrow, Tuesday 6 October, to provide local first graders with a fun and educational experience at Pinehurst and Chipman Elementary Schools. 

The program has vastly expanded over the many years and now reaches nearly 3,000 children over the next ten days.  For more fire safety information, visit the U.S. Fire Administration's website at www.usfa.fema.gov, or the National Fire Protection Associations's website at www.nfpa.org.
