And when the cow kicked it over, Fire Prevention Week was born. Take part in this year’s “Smoke Alarms Save Lives” theme, Oct 5-11. Take a few minutes to change out those smoke-alarm batteries, then gather your clan and refresh your family’s “In case of a fire” plan. The Seattle Fire Department will be at various locations throughout the week for fire safety events. Head to the Rainier Beach branch of the Seattle Public Library on Oct. 6, the Ballard branch on Oct. 8 and the Douglass-Truth branch on Oct. 10 for Fire Prevention story times. On Oct. 11, join SFD at MOHAI for a free day of fire safety tips and tricks, firefighter dress-up for the kids and awesome engine exploration tours.
