INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Department of Homeland Security is partnering with the National Fire Protection Association to encourage Hoosiers to plan ahead so every family member knows what to do in the event of a house fire. 2022 is the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week.

This year’s theme is “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape.” Families can take simple yet important actions to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires.

New homes can burn faster than ever because of the material used during construction. You may have as little as two minutes or less to safely escape a house fire once a smoke alarm sounds.

Media Availability: Newly appointed State Fire Marshal Stephen Jones is available for media interviews from 11 a.m.-noon on Oct. 11, 2022. Please email PIO@dhs.in.gov if you’re interested in booking the State Fire Marshal.

Fire Prevention Week Social Media Toolkit: IDHS created a Fire Prevention Week social media toolkit you can use to spread awareness about fire safety. The toolkit includes:

Fire Prevention Week Social Media Toolkit

Social media posts and images
Printable worksheets and games for families
A video to share on social media

Encourage your extended family and friends to plan their escape from home fires.
