Lawrence County Fire & Rescue is actively promoting fire safety education programs aimed at students, and they are reaching out to both teachers and parents to get involved. Recent statistics from the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office reveal a concerning trend: fire-related fatalities surge by nearly 70 percent during the winter months compared to other seasons. This alarming increase has been reflected in Lawrence County, where there have been tragic incidents involving fire-related deaths, including those of children.
Officials from Fire & Rescue emphasize that education plays a crucial role in mitigating fire fatalities and enhancing safety awareness among the youth. By equipping young people with knowledge about fire safety, the hope is to foster a culture of prevention and preparedness.
For schools or community organizations interested in arranging a fire safety class, Lawrence County Fire & Rescue encourages them to reach out. Interested parties can contact the department via a private message on their Facebook page or through email at [email protected]. This initiative aims to create a safer environment for everyone in the community.
