An Assistance to Firefighters Fire Prevention and Safety Grant of nearly $115,000
was awarded to the Orange County Fire Rescue to assist with the enhancement of its home fire safety programs.
“Our goal is to reduce home fires and related incidents for our at-risk populations including children, the aging, low-income communities and deaf/hard of hearing citizens.”
The program will provide in-home fire safety education, smoke alarm checks and installations in the targeted communities. Utilizing established partnerships during monthly door-to-door campaigns and through the use of Orange County’s 3-1-1 app will support the program.
