Media Advisory: Live Fire Burn Demonstration and Fire Muster with the State’s Fire Agency and Grand Junction Fire Department

Grand Junction, CO –  The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) is teaming up with the Grand Junction Fire Department (GJFD) to promote this year’s Fire Prevention WeekTM campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire SafetyTM.

“It’s important to learn the different sounds of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. When an alarm makes noise—a beeping sound or a chirping sound—you must take action!” said Mike Morgan, DFPC Director. “Make sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the alarms and knows how to respond. To learn the sounds of your specific smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, check the manufacturer’s instructions that came in the box, or search the brand and model online."

DFPC and GJFD will be hosting a live building fire demonstration with a Side-By-Side NFSA Trailer demonstration. Bring the family and learn about fire safety, meet the men and women on the front lines of fire, and watch a live burn demonstration!
