Site of the Week! In honor of Fire Prevention Week, this week's featured site is:
Fire Prevention Week 2001 FPW 2001 combines America's favorite pastime with important fire safety tips to teach children and their families how they can "cover the bases" to "strike out" preventable home fires. Sparky the Fire DogŪ, celebrating his 50th birthday this year as NFPA's mascot, will play a visible role in coaching families and communities on the simple steps they can take to avoid fires. Every year, we make a special effort to include children in our Fire Prevention Week campaign, with help from firefighters and teachers," says Meri-K Appy, vice president of public education for NFPA. "Kids are very effective at driving fire safety messages home, which is where the risk of fire is greatest. This year, we'll use a baseball diamond as a visual cue; each base on the FPW diamond represents important safety tips." Be Safe! **You can now see our past "Sites of the Week" live
