Fire Safety and Prevention

Educating the public in Fire Safety and Prevention is a major goal of the Winston-Salem Fire Department.  Please contact us for any assistance we can provide at (336) 773-7965 or by e-mail at Seniorcommunityeducator@cityofwsfire.org

Keep heating and holiday decorating safety in mind. Heating equipment is a leading cause of home fires in December, January, and February. NFPA has produced a new online tool kit that helps everyone understand the safe use of all types of heating equipment.  Or see all the Heating Safety Tips they provide: Heating Safety Tips

There are also numerous resources available on the internet as well.  One such source that we recommend is the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).  At the NFPA website they have a comprehensive web page of Fact Sheets and Safety Tips and Information.   NFPA Fact Sheet & Safety Tips.
