A level that served as the fuel to drive me to what today is known as the Office of Fire Prevention, Inc. (OFP). As the Chief Executive Officer of OFP, I personally pledged to do more as a firefighter fighter and a citizen to promote prevention and safety to all communities.
In an effort to do more, I have worked constantly and consciously on ways to service the community and get the message out about fire prevention. Some of those ways include fire prevention trainings for businesses, schools, residential facilities, senior homes, Public Housing, Community care programs, a Safety line of clothes, A Fire Safety Calendar, Safety Slogans and a stronger ambition to work together with the community and its stakeholders. My vision is to not only educate the public about fire prevention awareness, but to actuate them. While it is a good thing to know what to do in the event of a fire, it is a better thing to show that you know what to do before a fire starts by properly practicing prevention. Just knowing what to do in a fire does not save your life, preparing for a fire in advance, will.
The efforts of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (OSHA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Office of Fire Prevention, Inc. (OFP) and your local Fire Department are futile without your actions. In short, we need you in order to do our jobs successfully.
The Office of Fire Prevention, Inc. (OFP) mission is to strengthen the nation’s knowledge about fire safety, fire prevention and fire hazards. OFP is committed to protecting people from risk, injury and danger. We plan to accomplish this by making safety a priority as well as a practice for everyone, in their work, life and play, so please do not wait, purchase SafeBook, start living fire safe, and join our team by becoming a Safety Advocate today.view less
