Fire and Life Safety Awareness Week is annually observed by the Jamaica Fire Brigade.

The Jamaica Fire Brigade (JFB) will be using a virtual format to get the message of fire safety and prevention across to Jamaicans during Fire and Life Safety Awareness Week 2020.

The week will be observed from October 25 to 31 under the theme ‘Being Fire Safe while Socially Distant’.

Usually, at this time of the year, firefighters from across the island would stage face-to-face sensitisation sessions with community groups, schools, churches and businesses, but with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic restricting such contact, the JFB will be engaging the public through a slew of activities, utilising traditional and social media.
