Monrovia Fire & Rescue will be participating in the annual Fire Prevention Week. This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!” reinforces the crucial need for an escape plan. As part of the campaign, Monrovia firefighters will be visiting Monrovia Unified School District (MUSD) 4th grade classrooms during the week of October 9, 2017. The teaching point will be centered on the importance of developing an escape plan for families in their home and safety tips surrounding that topic.
To conclude the week, on Oct. 14, 2017, Monrovia Fire & Rescue will be opening its doors at Station 101, located at 141 E. Lemon Ave., to the general public between the hours of 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Monrovia Fire & Rescue will host a Junior Firefighter Challenge—a course designed for kids to simulate firefighter drills—as well as an Auto Extrication demonstration. The demonstration will include tools and procedures the department uses in order to extricate a patient from an automobile accident.
