Parker District Fire Department's campaign for Fire Prevention Week 2010 was extremely successful and rewarding.

This year, the theme is "Protect Your Family From Fire!". We had over 1,600 Children and adults attend and participate in various activities and competitions last year and expect even MORE this year!

Of course, Sparky the Fire Dog will make an appearance again, as well as Spiderman. The puppet show really captures the children's attention and helps educate them more about fire safety.

Fire Prevention Week 2011 for Parker Fire Department will definitely be a great SUCCESS! For more information please contact firesafety@parkerfd.com or call 864-467-4006.
