False Alarm Campaign Moves into Second Year
Fire Departments Help Get the Message Out
According to the National Fire Protection Association, more than six
thousand false fire alarms
occur in the United States each day...and the number is increasing.
Emailing a public service announcement directly to television
stations is succeeding in getting the
message out. According to producer, Richard Lambert, a 60 second
PSA was posted online last
February and fire departments throughout the country have
participated in getting it aired.
Lambert says, "Over five hundred TV stations ran the PSA after
receiving it by email and our online
tracking shows that it's continuing. A lot of fire departments are
posting it on their website as well."
Lambert adds, "Fire professionals everywhere are looking for ways
to make their communities safer
without adding expense. This PSA is a good tool for that. "
