The Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) and Safe Kids Kansas is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week this week. This year’s campaign, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape,” educates everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires.
