| SAFE KIDS SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN AND LOCAL FIREFIGHTERS DELIVER SMOKE DETECTORS AND PIZZAS THURSDAY, OC |
| Date : - 20/10/2008 |

How would your child like a pizza delivered to your house by firefighters in a fire truck? It could happen. Area firefighters are "Delivering Fire Prevention," a program of Safe Kids Southeast Wisconsin Coalition, the evening of Thursday, Oct. 23. The program is designed to increase awareness about the importance of having working smoke detectors in every home, while reminding homeowners to change the batteries in their smoke detectors twice a year.
Families will be chosen at random to have their pizza delivered by a fire truck. If they have working smoke detectors in their home, their pizza will be free, compliments of the pizza restaurant. All families visited will receive a free smoke detector and fire prevention education from Safe Kids Southeast Wisconsin.
Fire departments and communities from four counties across Southeast Wisconsin are participating, including Cudahy, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, South Milwaukee, West Allis (Milwaukee County); Belgium, Cedarburg, Grafton, Port Washington, Saukville, Waubeka (Ozaukee County); Germantown, Hartford, Jackson, Kewaskum, West Bend (Washington County); Delafield, Elm Grove, Mukwonago, North Prairie and Pewaukee (Waukesha County). Delivering Fire Prevention is sponsored by State Farm®, Safe Kids Southeast Wisconsin and participating fire departments and pizza restaurants.
Children in homes without working smoke alarms are at greater risk of fires and fire-related injury or death. Safe Kids Southeast Wisconsin recommends:
* Installing smoke detectors on every level in your home and in each bedroom.
* Cleaning and checking smoke detectors once every month to ensure they work properly.
* Changing batteries twice a year.
* Replacing smoke detectors every 10 years.
