Spring Into Fire Safety

April 16, 2010 by

Interim State Fire Marshal Donald Cooper is encouraging Ohioans to “spring into fire safety” as warmer days approach. Ohio averages more total fires in spring than any other season. More than 60,000 fires were reported during April, May and June to Ohio’s fire departments from 2004 to 2008.

“As the spring weather warms Ohio, many people throughout the state begin what is an annual ritual – spring cleaning,” said Cooper. “This is also an ideal time to check homes and yards to eliminate fire and safety hazards.”
