Fire Safety

October 10, 1975, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

This week is Fire Prevention Week and Menasha firefighters ensured the younger folk of the city knew the ins and outs of fire safety with school visits and demonstrations.   National Fire Prevention Week is observed in the US and Canada, during the week (from Sunday to Saturday) in which October 9 falls. In the US, the first Presidential proclamation of Fire Prevention Week was made in 1925 by President Calvin Coolidge.  Growing up in the Menasha schools, I'm sure all our readers can recall the inevitable fire drills that October brought.
