SPOKANE VALLEY FIRE HAS A NEW “WRAP” ON THEIR FIRE PREVENTION TRAILER THANKS TO CW WRAPS!
******************************************************
Spokane Valley Fire Department (SVFD) has a new Fire Prevention Trailer wrap.
Sam Carlino, owner of CW Wraps felt our “smoke alarm awareness” message was a necessary one to promote. As a former Firefighter of 12 years and current volunteer Firefighter, he understands clearly that smoke alarms save lives. He continues to work closely with all local police, fire, and EMS crews and has generously donated the new “Smoke Alarm wrap” to the Spokane Valley Fire Departments Fire Prevention Trailer. CW Wraps has been heavily involved in our local community and those who work to keep us safe daily!
“I am passionate about fire safety and all public safety,” said CEO and Owner, Sam Carlino. “As a former Firefighter, I have seen personally the difference a smoke alarm can make for a families safety during a fire.”
SVFD will be using the trailer to transport our equipment to various community events. These events include, but are not limited to:
- School Science and STEM Fairs
- Community Festivals
- Community Education Classes, such as
- Fire Extinguisher Training Class
- Older Adult Falls Prevention Class
- Home Fire and Life Safety Class
This trailer will also be used during Elementary School Fire Safety Classes during the month of October, including Fire Prevention Week and at Neighborhood Smoke Alarm Blitzes.
“Wrapping the trailer will provide us with a “Mobile Fire Safety Awareness Sign.” Said Spokane Valley Fire Department’s Fire Marshal, Greg Rogers. “It is an additional way for us to share the important messages about smoke alarms.”
This trailer will also provide SVFD with another method of being present in the community and at community events with our Fire and life safety messages. The trailer is wrapped with images of our area that should be familiar to residents that see the trailer on the roads or at events.
“Anytime we can share fire and life safety messages in the community, we will do it,” said Spokane Valley Fire Department’s Fire Chief, Bryan Collins. “Smoke Alarms save lives and homes.”
Thank you CW Wraps for this generous donation!
