Fire Prevention Week Hopes For A Fireless Week In Elyria
Elyria’s Fire Chief W N Bates urged residents to prevent fires not only during Fire Prevention Week next week but also the two surrounding weeks. The city’s three week report to the National Fire Prevention Week contest historically showed minimal alarms and a total loss of five dollars. This year a Sunday fire slightly exceeds that figure, but officials hope it remains the only loss in the three week span.
