Fire prevention week
Oct. 5 through 11 is officially "Fire Prevention Week."
Councilman Ken Willis read the proclamation during last night's City Council meeting, recognizing next week as Upland's official week of fire prevention. The week of Oct. 5 is recognized across the nation as "Fire Prevention Week."
The proclamation was accepted by Division Chief-Fire Marshall Lou Steslicki, who had tips for residents on preventing home fires.
Some of the leading causes of home fires are open flames, such as candles and electrical/power cords, he said.
Steslicki even brought props to go along with his advice. He purchased Glade flame less candles from Target in the Colonies to show an alternative way to have the scent and glow of a candle without the risk of fire.
