October is National Fire Prevention month and the Mentor Fire Department would like you to take a moment to review your home or business fire escape plan and make sure that your smoke detectors are working.

The Public Education division of the Mentor Fire Department assists the general public with training and safety information and offers free classes including Fire Extinguisher Training, Emergency Planning, and Wildlands Fire Safety classes for individuals and groups.

For information or to schedule a class, contact Mentor Fire Prevention at (440) 974-5768.
