Jonathan Dayton, Councilor Allan Landavazo, Fire Marshal Jesus “Chuy” Morales, Sparky, and Chief Eric Babcock are presented with a proclamation by the city (Sept. 22) for Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10. Morales and fellow fire fighters gave a short presentation on the importance of having fire alarms in each room of your house and hallways as well. Preparation is key during a structure fire, including designating a meet up place once everyone escapes from the home. In 2013, there were 3,240 reported civilian deaths and more than $9.5 billion in reported fire damages in the United States. Photo Credit: Babette Herrmann
