Fire Prevention Week 2014 Events & Activities

640x180v01

The Highland Park Volunteer Fire Department is proud to announce events, activities & resources for Fire Prevention Week 2014! We are holding our own Fire Prevention Week activities & events a week late this year due to Yom Kippur & holiday conflicts during the actual week.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) started Fire Prevention Week in 1927 to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The theme for 2014 is “Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month“.

Highland Park Volunteer Fire Department will be visiting schools within the Borough during the week of October 6th and will host an Open House at the Fire Department on Sunday, October 12, 2014 from 12 Noon until 3 PM. We hope you can join us during one of the events this week!

Looking for a Generous Sponsor

The names listed on the plaque above have passed away but their contribution is left to be remembered. If it were not for those listed, the Highland Park Volunteer Fire Department would not be the department it is today. Through their determination and dedication, this department faithfully served the community since 1899.

We remember those who came before us through several plaques like the one above at Station 37, our Firehouse for the Highland Park Volunteer Fire Department. They are thoughtfully maintained by our volunteer members.

We are looking to purchase a new plaque to match the existing ones and seeking out a generous sponsor to assist the purchase of the plaque.

The plaque above was purchased for HPVFD by the Ladies Auxiliary in the early 1980’s. We will recognize sponsor(s) for the new plaque the same way by including them on display at Station 37.

If you can assist us in this great cause please contact us at:
