Domino’s Pizza and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) have joined forces for the eighteenth year to deliver fire safety messages to homes across the country.
During Fire Prevention Week from the 5-11 October, customers who order from participating franchise-owned and corporate Domino’s stores throughout the US may be surprised when their delivery arrives accompanied by a fire engine.
If the smoke alarms in the home are working, the pizza is free. If the smoke alarms are not working, the firefighters will replace the batteries or install fully functioning alarms.
Jenny Fouracre, Domino’s Senior Director of External Communications explained: “Every year, Domino’s stores look forward to teaming up with their local fire departments and NFPA to spread fire safety messages in an exciting and unexpected way.
“Domino’s has brought this program to neighborhoods across the US for 18 years now, helping reinforce the importance of working smoke alarms in a fun, impactful way.”
In addition, participating Domino‘s stores throughout the US will highlight this year’s campaign theme, “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” with flyers on top of pizza boxes.
The flyers will include important fire safety tips – such as stressing how important it is to buy, charge and recycle lithium-ion batteries safely.
Lorraine Carli, NFPA‘s Vice President of Outreach and Advocacy stated: “Fire continues to present real risks to the public, particularly at home, where the majority of US home fire deaths happen.
“Having working smoke alarms in the home is critical to safety, giving people the time needed to escape safely – whatever the cause of that fire may be.”
