Local firefighters kickoff Fire Prevention Week

JACKSON, Tenn.– Firefighters with the Madison County Fire Department and all over the state are getting ready for Fire Prevention Week.

Sunday, the Madison County Fire Department opened up their doors to help people understand fire safety.

Firefighters showed attendees what a real extrication would look like.

The kick off also included a Sparky and Friends puppet show, and a simulated smoke house for families to tour.

“Even though it’s a week-long event, we like to practice fire safety year round and we encourage people to practice fire safety year round,” said Fire Marshal Don Friddle.

Fire Prevention week will conclude Saturday, October 12.
