Fire-Rescue Educates Community on Fire Prevention The City of Delray Beach will hold its Fire Safety Week from October 4-10, 2009. Over the past five years Delray Beach Fire-Rescue has dedicated itself to making October Fire Safety Month and recognize the importance of teaching children about fire safety. The City's Fire-Rescue Department is committed to educating the community about fire safety information, which is the key to avoidable injuries or death. Further, the Department is dedicated and determined to reach as many children as possible regarding the dangers of fire by visiting local schools and teaching students the importance of fire safety (see schedule below). According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation in 1920. Since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed on the Sunday through Saturday period in which October 9 falls. According to the National Archives and Records Administration's Library Information Center, Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record.
