Fire Prevention Week

Fire Prevention Week

Open your doors, Grow your team

Join fire departments across the country for National Fire Prevention Week events.

This Fire Prevention Week, invite your community inside.

A Hustle Worth Having is bringing fire departments across the country together during National Fire Prevention Week, October 4–10, to connect more people with their local fire service.

Already have a public-facing event planned? It counts. There’s no need to create something new. Whether it’s an open house, station tour, pancake breakfast or Touch a Truck, if your community is invited, we want to help promote it.

Your department provides the open doors. We’ll help provide the tools to get people there.

ONE WEEK. LOCAL EVENTS. A NATIONAL MOVEMENT

During National Fire Prevention Week, participating departments across the country will host events to give community members a firsthand look at volunteer firefighting.

It’s an opportunity to meet the people behind the gear, explore the station, learn what volunteering really involves or discover how everyday people can make an extraordinary difference in their communities.

For departments, it’s a chance to turn national attention around Fire Prevention Week into meaningful local connections and potential new recruits.

Your Open House can be as simple or robust as your department wants.

Register your department, tell us when you're opening your doors and use the campaign resources to help spread the word.
