A&J Fire Extinguisher, a leading Brooklyn, NYC fire extinguisher inspection and supplier company providing products and services for all of NYC’s fire protection needs, recently expressed support for the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Fire Prevention Week 2019 campaign, bolstered by the theme “Not Every Hero Wears a Cape: Plan and Practice Your Escape!” and resonating with representatives of A&J as they work to educate customers about the small but important actions they can take to keep themselves – and everyone around them – safe.

The National Fire Protection Association remains a global nonprofit organization established in 1896 devoted to eliminating death, injury, property and economic loss due to fire, electrical and related hazards.

“Unbeknownst to many, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance in 1925, making it the longest-running public health observance in our country,” says Principal of A&J Fire Extinguisher. “During FPW, children, adults and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a fire, with firefighters providing lifesaving public education in an effort to drastically decrease casualties caused by fires.

“A&J is very proud to support this burgeoning movement.”

Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9 in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871 and caused devastating damage. This horrific occurrence was responsible for killing more than 250 people, leaving 100,000 homeless, destroying more than 17,400 structures and burning more than 2,000 acres of land.

The 2019 Fire Prevention Week campaign focuses on escape planning and practice so those in a fire can make the most of the time they have, with National Fire Protection Association representatives reporting that in a typical home fire, occupants may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds.
