Fire officials remind citizens to practice fire safety all year round

The National Fire Prevention Association’s 2007 “Fire Prevention Week” will wrap up Saturday.

Chenango County Fire Bureau representative Mike Beckwith wants to remind parents and children to review the information they’ve learned in schools and clinics throughout the week.

“It gives parents a good opportunity to have some one-on-one time with kids,” Beckwith said. “And it will reinforce everything they’ve learned this week, which hopefully families carry throughout the year.”
