As other fire departments do across the nation, LFD is participating in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) sponsored campaign that is more than 90 years strong. Fire Prevention Week is intended to promote fire safety education and life safety. Every year\u2019s campaign has a theme and this year it is: \u201cNot Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!\u201d. The campaign works to educate everyone about the small, but important, actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In honor of FPW, the department is officially presenting its\u00a0<em>Practice Fire Safety<\/em>\u00a0coloring and activity book. <a href=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LFD-Blaze-the-FF-Swan-Activity-and-Coloring-Book-FINAL.pdf\">Click Here<\/a> The book was custom made by the department and features Blaze the Firefighting Swan, which was named by the community in an online contest. The book touches on several important fire safety concepts and is available as a free download at\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lakelandgov.net\/LFD\" target=\"_blank\">www.lakelandgov.net\/LFD<\/a>. The book will also be distributed to children in the Lakeland area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The culmination of the department\u2019s fire safety campaign will take place on October 28, 2019 at the department\u2019s Public Safety Truck or Treat event.

These fires caused 2,630 fire deaths and 10,600 fire injuries. On average, seven people died in a fire in a home per day during 2012 to 2016.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese numbers show that home fires continue to pose a significant threat to safety,\u201d said Lorraine Carli, NFPA\u2019s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. \u201cIn a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Escape planning and practice can help you make the most of the time you have, giving everyone enough time to get out. FPW messaging focuses on home fires, however, these messages apply to virtually any location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSituational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they go,\u201d shares Lakeland Fire Marshal, Cheryl Edwards. \u201cNo matter where you are, look for available exits. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more general information about Fire Prevention Week and home escape planning, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fpw.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.fpw.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lakeland Fire Department reminds residents: Not Every Hero Wears a Cape.
