Title
Consider approval of a proclamation naming the week of October 9-15, 2016 as “Fire Prevention Week,” and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
Summary
Although fire prevention is a year around initiative, the Coppell Fire Department uses Fire Prevention Week as an opportunity to highlight and promote additional programs. This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is: “Don’t Wait - Check the Date!” Only a small percentage of people know how old their smoke alarms are, or how often they need to be replaced. Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. You can make sure you know how old all the smoke alarms are in your home by looking at the manufacture date on the back of the alarm. The alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date.
