Fire Safety & Awareness Week Resources
Fire Safety & Awareness Week is underway and code officials are getting safety messages out to the public. For example, John Kuehl, Building Official for the cities of Monterey and Pacific Grove, Calif., posted a YouTube video on the importance of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. The city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, also posted video educating consumers on the importance of codes, permit requirements and highlighting special Building Safety Month events at city hall this week. On the Building Safety Month YouTube channel, there are additional videos to help you plan activities.
For tips and resources on Fire Safety & Awareness provided by the ICC Foundation, USFA, and Building Safety Month Presenting Sponsor, AMCA International, please visit the Building Safety Month website.
