Fire Safety Week got underway on Monday, offering seven days of helpful advice on how to make your home, office or business as safe as possible and to remove any potential hazards that may put you in danger.

The Prince Rupert Fire/Rescue Department is using their Social Media page to highlight the Fire Safety Awareness program, with plans to provide further notes for the public through the week.

You can follow their travels through the week, attending local information events and providing for more safety themes here. 

A range of material for the family is also available from the National Fire Prevention Association which hosts a website that offers up number of items, videos and other presentations to bring home the message of Fire Safety.

Fire Safety Week will continue until October 10th
