The informational sessions, at both the EPCC’s Northwest Campus and Mission del Paso Campus, will be curbside and feature fire prevention information, home safety as well as carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.
Tips will be provided by the Fire Tech Program on how to appropriately respond to various emergencies which might be encountered in the home or workplace, raging from gas leaks to fire.
