Making Communities Safer

Celebrating 75 Years of Fire Safety

Teaching children how to prevent fires and what to do if they face one.
“We realize the need for fire safety education and the critical importance of partnering with The Hartford on the Junior Fire Marshal program. By tapping into children’s natural curiosity when it comes to fire, we can help build a fire-safe culture in children which will carry through to their families and communities.”
