************NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2024*********** National Fire Prevention Week is celebrated each year during the week of October 9 in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. Folklore says that the incident began the night of October 8 in a barn owned by Patrick and Catherine O’Leary. Regardless of the actual cause, the result was devastating damage to the entire city of Chicago. What became of the city after this horrific event? Well ironically, the fire cleared the way for a newer, much improved Chicago. Ten years after the fire, the city population had nearly doubled. Twenty years later, the Windy City was home to over 1 million people and featured the world’s first true skyscrapers. And maybe the most ironic fact is that the site where the O’Leary barn once stood now hosts the training academy of the Chicago Fire Department. Please take Fire Safety and Fire Prevention seriously. Protect yourself and your family by educating yourself and being prepared. #thegreatchicagofire #fireprevention #fireservice #firesafety #firesafetytips #firesafetytraining #smokealarms #fireprotection #residentialhomefires #unattendedcookingfires #stoplossllc #firesupression #preventhefirestoptheloss #nationalfirepreventionweek #nationalfireprventionmonth #stoplossva #stoplossllc

DID YOU KNOW… there’s a difference between an emergency response plan and an emergency management plan? 🚨 An emergency response plan focuses on immediate actions during a crisis—like how to evacuate or provide first aid. It’s all about handling the situation in real time. ⏱️ On the other hand, an emergency management plan is broader, covering preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. It helps organizations prevent emergencies, minimize damage, and ensure a smooth recovery afterward. 🛡️ Both are critical, but they serve different purposes in keeping people and property safe! #EmergencyPreparedness #CrisisManagement #StaySafe #EmergencyResponse #SafetyFirst #BCA
