Nature: Fire Prevention Awareness Program

Location: Rehoboth Beach Bandstand

Address: Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE

On Sunday, October 6th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company attended the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company’s Annual Fire Prevention Awareness Program Kick off Campaign to highlight public awareness of the volunteer fire service in Delaware as well as promoting the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPAs) 2013 Fire Prevention Week.

This event is the capstone for Fire Prevention Week in Rehoboth Beach and includes many surrounding fire companies and public service entities including the Delaware Forestry Service, the Delaware State Police, the Rehoboth Beach Police Department, the Delaware State Fire School and many other entities.

This Fire Prevention Public Awareness Initiative permitted the dissemination of fire safety and fire prevention publications for children as well as adults. These materials included fire prevention coloring books and pamphlets, firefighter hats, and other related publications.

The Indian River Volunteer Fire Company wishes to acknowledge the continued cooperation of its neighboring fire companies as well as the tremendous outpouring of community support.

Indian River allowed Patches, our fire prevention Dalmatian to attend the event.

Throughout the day, approximately 175 persons attended the presentation booth.
