NO IFS, ANDS, OR BUTTS

Recently our fire crews responded to a medical call. As they were treating the person they found five piles of cigarette butts through out the apartment.
BUTT... I DIDNT THINK IT WAS A HAZARD

As fire Marshal of our city I was concerned about the potential for the loss of life in this apartment and the adjacent apartments. We are working to get this particular incident taken care of.  While this is a rare case it is a perfect example for me to introduce our safety campaign for the next year.

Our campaign is HOME SAFE HOME! So during the next year we will be providing safety tips and campaigns to help make our city safer...... One home at a time. If you have questions suggestions or topics you would like us to cover please email us at prevention@wvc-ut.gov. Or leave your comment here.  Fire Marshal Bob is my name..... But PREVENTION is my game..


Be Smart.... Be Safe...  BE READY!
