Fire Wise Festival Puts the Fun in Fire Safety

As a community leader in fire prevention services, we’re proud to be a part of the 2nd Annual Fire Wise Festival in downtown Prescott. Local fire safety organizations and businesses are coming together in downtown Prescott to celebrate the National Fire Prevention Week in a street festival outside Founding Fathers Collective at 281 N. Granite Street. The one-day event, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 7, will highlight local businesses that can help residents prepare for future fire risks and keep our communities safe from fire. Local fire agencies attending the event include Prescott Fire Department, Yavapai Firewise/PAWUIC, BLM Fire, Arizona Public Safety, LASER (Large Animal Shelters & Emergency Readiness) and All West Fire & Security, to name a few. Admission is free.

Our area is surrounded by national forests. We all need to be diligent and prepare for fires that can happen any time of the year, not just during fire season. Everyone who attends the Fire Wise Festival will come away with information that can help prevent fires and save lives.

“Last year was well attended and we really wanted to continue to support our local fire agencies, so we’re happy to bring this event back,” said Jesse Burke of Founding Fathers Collective. “It’ll be fun for the kids to enjoy a bouncy house and check out big red fire engines. Adults can enjoy our Fire Engine Brew.”

In addition to fire safety tips from experts, the family-friendly event will have food, giveaways and music.

The event is sponsored by Founding Fathers Collective, All West Fire & Security, Barrett Propane, Yavapai Fire Wise/PAWUIC, Signals AZ, 93.9FM the Mountain, Magic 99.1FM, Arizona Hope 103.9FM, Yavapai County Contractors Association, Quad Cities Business News and Trafficade Service Companies.

We hope to see you there! QCBN
