This is Fire Prevention Week.  Flin Flon Fire Chief Chad Cooper reports with three months to go the number of fire calls and fires have gone down over last year.  He says the stats for the 2015 year show the Flin Flon Fire Department responded to 91 total emergency calls of which 25 were working fires and this year 2016 they are at 39 total emergency calls three of which have been fires this year.

Cooper reminds you of the theme for Fire Prevention Week Don’t Wait Check the Date.  He says you should replace you smoke alarm every ten years, replace the batteries every year and test your alarm once a month.
