Fire department and high school join forces to spread word about fire safety

The Waltham Fire Department partnered with the Waltham High School TV studio program this month to create a new fire safety program for WCAC. This ongoing series, called “Fire Safety Watch,” will air once a month during WCAC’s weekly news program. Segments will center around fire safety and prevention. The Council on Aging and Waltham Senior Center will partner with the program for topics such as fire safety and other life safety tips for seniors.

Students in the tv studio program serve as writers and producers for the program. Students will also have the opportunity to co-host alongside members of the Waltham Fire Department Fire Prevention Bureau and the Student Awareness of Fire Education Team.
This month’s program will feature tips on how to eliminate slip, trip and fall hazards both inside and outside the home. Those interested can view “Fire Safety Watch” via WCAC or through WFD’s website.
