Fire Safety

Electrical malfunctions and failures contribute to a large number of home structure fires each year. These fires can cause property damage, injury and sometimes civilian deaths. ESFI is committed to educating the public on fire-preventing electrical technologies, including those required by the National Electrical Code.

Thanks to Funding provided through DHS/FEMA’s Grant Program Directorate Assistance to FireFighters Grant Program, we encourage you to use our free fire prevention resources, including our infographics, to increase fire and electrical safety awareness with your family, around your community, at your workplace, or in your school.
