Fire Prevention Week Proclamation

In a proclamation dated October 7, 2025, President Trump designated October 5 through October 11 as Fire Prevention Week. The announcement encourages Americans to prioritize fire safety by implementing measures to reduce risks, such as creating fire escape plans and testing smoke alarms. The President also highlighted the importance of firefighters and first responders, noting their dedication during times of crisis, and called for community involvement in fire prevention efforts.

The proclamation addressed the challenges faced during recent wildfires, particularly in California, where inadequate preparation led to tragic losses and significant financial damages. In response, the President signed an Executive Order aimed at improving wildfire prevention and response strategies, which includes consolidating federal programs and utilizing advanced technology for better management.

Additionally, the President expressed gratitude towards all emergency personnel and volunteers who work tirelessly to protect citizens from fire-related disasters. He announced measures to enhance the safety and compensation of federal wildland firefighters and reaffirmed the commitment to providing necessary resources for effective fire prevention. The proclamation serves as a reminder for Americans to renew their fire safety practices and recognize the critical role of first responders in safeguarding lives and property.
