For Parents
Every school year, the DC Fire and EMS Department strive to do their part in educating children about the dangers of fire, and what to do if ever there's a fire in their home. But no matter how much your child learns, they cannot make their home safer without your help. Only you can do that. Will you take the next few minutes to make sure your home is safe?
