Fire Prevention Month - October
Every October, we observe Fire Prevention Month to raise awareness about fire safety and prevention. Established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in 1922, Fire Prevention Week is the longest-running public health observance in the United States, commemorating the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Its mission is to educate the public about the dangers of home fires and ways to prevent them.
This year’s Fire Prevention Month theme is "Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work for You!" The campaign focuses on the critical role smoke alarms play in keeping homes and families safe. Westminster Fire will be engaging with the community throughout October to emphasize the importance of having working smoke alarms in every home.
Below, you’ll find helpful flyers on smoke alarms, how to create an effective evacuation plan, and general fire safety. Use these resources to start important conversations with your family about fire safety!

Founded in 1934 as a one-station volunteer department, the Westminster Fire Department has grown substantially and now operates as an all-career, all-hazards fire department utilizing the 48/96 scheduling model. The City of Westminster as a whole has also evolved from its roots as a small farming community on the outskirts of Denver to the city it has become today. Westminster is now a vibrant, dynamic, and affluent city of approximately 114,000 citizens and 30,750 households. With our department's vision to serve as the leader in fire and emergency medical services, we strive to continually improve our operations as identified in our 2024-2028 Strategic Plan.
The Westminster Fire Department has been awarded accredited status through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI). This accreditation demonstrates that Westminster meets or exceeds industry best standard practices. The City of Westminster also achieved Class 1 status through the Insurances Services Office (ISO). This is the highest rating that a city/fire department can attain. Only .04% of fire departments across the United States and Canada have achieved both accredited status as well as an ISO-1 rating.
