Candle Fire Safety Advocates
Read the summaries of what four safety advocates are doing to educate people about the dangers of candles (from Firepreventionweek.org).
When fire safety advocate Tim Szymanski learns of a candle-related fire in the Las Vegas, Nevada, area, the first thing he does is contact local newspapers, TV and radio stations. “I alert the media through a paging system, and when there is a candle fire, I usually meet the media while the incident is going on and talk to them about "another candle incident."
These four people are making a difference in their communities. Does your department have someone educating the public about using candles safely?
