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 announcment 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.
