Fire Prevention Week 2020 in Torbay & Flatrock
Event Details
Fire Prevention Week is from October 4–10, 2020. This year’s campaign campaign is “Serve Up Fire Safety In The Kitchen!” The campaign works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe.
