Our Mission

This site was initiated to help spread the fire prevention word to the kids.  Each year during the month of October, District #3 runs the Fire Prevention Week program for the county schools that are in it's fire protection district.  For the last seven years we have also brought the program to the public school in another departments fire protection area.  During Fire Prevention Week 2001, District #3 Volunteer Fire Department donated the Risk Watch program to three schools and the Learn Not to Burn Series to one school.  We are hoping to be able to reach all of the County schools in 2007!  This site is the primary link to all the scheduled events, prizes, handouts, and the photos of the kids taken during the Fire Prevention Week programs.  Lowndes County uses the NFPA's Risk Watch, Learn Not to Burn and the Fire Prevention Week Programs.
