First
and second grade students at Windsor Forest Elementary School took part in a
fire safety day sponsored by The Hartford Insurance Company and the Savannah
Fire Department. As part of the event, The Hartford brought the company’s
Mobile Fire Safety House to the school and deputized more than 200 students as
Junior Fire Marshals!
The
event included a simulated fire and smoke demonstration in the safety house after
students received training on how to respond.
There was also an opportunity to meet local firefighters and tour a fire
truck. The Hartford has donated $20,000 to Savannah for fire safety as
the city ranks No. 20 among 200 U.S. cities with the highest home fire risk
according to The
Hartford’s Home Fire Index.
The
Hartford holds Junior Fire Marshal events in cities with high risk to help
those communities achieve higher levels of safety and educate children about
the importance of fire safety and prevention.
