Antioch Strong: Fire Prevention Tips and Community Education

Launched in 2009, the Antioch Fire Cadet Corps gives young adults hands-on firefighting experience through real-world training and mentorship from professional firefighters. Designed for ages 14–18, the program combines classroom learning, ride-alongs, and community engagement to prepare cadets for future careers in Fire and EMS services. Join the team, gain valuable skills, and make a difference in your community.

A safe home starts with working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Fires spread quickly and CO is an invisible, odorless threat, making early detection essential. Install alarms on every level of your home, test them monthly, replace batteries yearly, and know when units expire. Combination detectors can protect against both fire and CO poisoning. By following these fire safety tips, you’ll safeguard your family and gain peace of mind in case of an emergency.
