Book Overview

Fire is a widespread tragedy that each year kills approximately 4,000 people and injures about three times as many. Seniors and Children are particularly vulnerable to fire; therefore, it is important that families have the tools (of Detection and Protection) and know the rules of fire safety.

SafeBook is designed with your family’s safety in mind. As a certified firefighter and founder of the Office Fire Prevention Inc., it is with my greatest of intentions to share with all my friends’ images and information about home fire causes, home fire safety, home fire hazards, home fire injuries and home fire prevention. This book is about saving lives and this I hope that you can admire as you learn more about the danger of and the ways to detect and combat (when reasonable) fires.

My hopes are that all families will receive the information enclosed with PRIDE (Parent Resource for Information, Detection and Education) in their efforts to exercise safety by allowing SafeBook to be their guide.  This booklet will be instrumental for families and children. In order for our communities to be a safer place to live, work and play, families are encouraged to exercise safety first at all times and in all they do because safety first is not just a slogan it’s an actionable attitude. As a reward for you and your family’s commitment to Safety First, the Office of Fire Prevention Inc. wants to make a Safety Advocate out of you and as you read further in this book, you learn exactly what you will need to do.
