Two years ago, they urged residents to know two ways out, in case of fire.
Last year, putting a lid on kitchen fires was their focus.
This year, 91Ô´´ City firefighters want citizens to make them Happy, by checking household smoke alarms every month.
And if they have to sing and dance to get you to do it, well . . . OK.
It’s Fire Prevention Week and in the City of 91Ô´´, that means fire crews have prepared another music video intended to both illuminate and entertain.
Sung to the tune of Pharrell William’s hit song, Happy, this year’s video encourages viewers to make sure they have a working smoke alarm by testing it once each month with a simple push of a button.
Other recommendations included in the 2014 campaign are to change smoke detector batteries twice a year, at the same time clocks are set forward and back, and to replace the entire unit every 10 years.
Among the activities happening in the City during fire prevention week — Oct. 5 to 11 — is an open house at the fire hall, 5785 203 St.
On Thursday, Oct. 9, between 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., residents are invited to stop by and meet the firefighters, tour the hall, learn important fire safety tips and watch live fire demonstrations.
