Fire Prevention Week

Oct. 7–13 is National Fire Prevention week and the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is working to educate the campus community. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) theme this year is “Practice Your Escape Plan.” NFPA pamphlets will arrive in all faculty and staff mail boxes in early October.

“Fire prevention at work and at home is a key topic we discuss with new employees at Dartmouth,” says Michael Blayney, director of Environmental Health and Safety. “Tragically, every year people die in house fires in New Hampshire and Vermont and often they did not have working smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are a simple and effective way to save lives and their batteries must be changed at least once a year.”
