Fire Prevention Week is always the week in October that includes October 8th and 9th in it. Why? Because in 1871 on those days there were two big fires - The Great Chicago Fire and the Great Peshtigo Fire!
Information on those fires can be found at:
The Great Chicago Fire
The Great Peshtigo Fire
You can also find resources for teaching fire prevention and life safety education by going to one of these sites.
National Fire Prevention Association
American Red Cross Masters of Disaster
FEMA for Kids
Scholastic's Fire Prevention Program
Resource #1
Resource #2
Call your local Fire Department! They'll be happy to work with you to teach your students fire prevention and life safety skills.
