A Show of Support - A Fire Safety Awareness Event in Fairfield County, Connecticut

After the recent tragic house fire in Stamford that left 3 beautiful girls and their grandparents dead, CT-moms has decided to host a Show of Support, a county-wide fire safety awareness and fundraising event, that will take place on Saturday, February 25th at 10am. The informal, family-friendly one hour event is open to the public and will simultaneously occur at participating fire stations between Stratford and Greenwich. It's designed to allow local residents to show, through attendance and improved fire safety education, their solidarity with families like the Badgers who have suffered fire-related tragedies as well as their support for their local fire stations.  It’s important to clear up any confusion about fire safety in our homes and with our families.

Participating fire stations (listed below) will offer informative demonstrations, tips and open question-and-answer sessions for both children and adults, firehouse and truck tours, interactive instruction for use of safety and rescue equipment and more. Some stations will have giveaways, offer light snacks, and a fire-themed craft project to occupy any children in attendance. A suggested donation of $20 per family will be divided among local participating firehouses as well as The Other 364 Foundation, in honor of the Badger family in Stamford. Donations can also be made online at CT-Moms.

As part of the event, Elahi Childrens Yoga in Westport will host a session specifically for families with children or adults in the household who have special needs. It’s time to actually inspect our home for fire hazards by installing, testing or replacing those smoke detectors. We must invest in fire prevention and protection around our homes and empower everyone who lives with us with a proper exit strategy.
