October Fire Safety Update: Prepare for the Unexpected
AtoZ Fire • October 1, 2024
As we move deeper into hurricane season, Florida has already been hit hard, and more storms could be on the way. Now is the time to ensure your business is fully equipped to handle any emergencies that may arise. In the wake of severe weather, power outages, and storm damage, fire hazards can increase—so it’s essential to be prepared.
National Fire Prevention Week is Coming! 🔥
This year’s FPW campaign, “Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work for You!”, highlights the critical importance of having functioning smoke alarms in your home or business. 🏠🔔 Smoke alarms can be lifesavers, but only if they’re installed, tested, and replaced properly.
Top Smoke Alarm Tips for National Fire Prevention Week:
- INSTALL Smoke Alarms in Every Bedroom, Outside Sleeping Areas, and on Every Level
This ensures that you and your loved ones are alerted to fire no matter where it may occur in the home. - TEST Your Smoke Alarms Monthly
Press the test button to make sure they’re working. If the alarm doesn’t sound, replace the batteries immediately. - REPLACE Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years. Even if they seem to work, older alarms might not be as reliable. If you can’t remember the last time you changed them, it’s probably time to swap them out!
Stop by Our Largo Office 🚒
We’re also inviting everyone to stop by our Largo office to check out our vintage fire truck and grab some fun fire safety memorabilia. We’ll have stickers, hats, coloring books, and toy fire extinguishers available—perfect for families and fire safety enthusiasts!

As we wrap up the year and enter the season of lights, laughter, and togetherness — from Thanksgiving to Christmas and beyond — all of us at A to Z Fire want to say a heartfelt thank you. Thank you to our customers, our community, and everyone who trusts us to help keep their homes and businesses safe. We’re especially excited this season because we’re expanding: our new Asheville location opens this month ! If you have a home or business up that way, we’re ready — with fire safety gear, professional service, and some great seasonal deals. That said, the holidays bring extra fire risks. Between holiday lights, candles, fireplaces, cozy cooking, and children at home — December is statistically one of the most dangerous months of the year for home fires. But a few smart precautions can go a long way. Here’s how to enjoy the holidays with warmth, cheer, and peace of mind 🎁
As the weather cools down and we gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving, now’s the perfect time to make sure safety stays at the top of your list. Between cooking, candles, and seasonal bonfires, November brings a higher risk of fire incidents — especially here in Florida as we move into the dry season. Over the past few weeks, Tampa Fire Rescue has been hard at work responding to several major fires , including blazes at a recycling facility and a Hyde Park nightclub. Thankfully, no serious injuries were reported — but these incidents are a strong reminder that fire prevention matters year-round. At A to Z Fire , we’re here to help keep your home, business, and gatherings safe this holiday season. Let’s look at a few important tips to make this Thanksgiving both warm and worry-free.
Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year — costumes, decorations, flickering lights, and spooky fun. But behind all that excitement comes a real risk: October is one of the top months for home fires , according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). At A to Z Fire , we’re all about keeping your celebrations safe, festive, and fire-free. Before you light the jack-o’-lantern or plug in that fog machine, take a moment to review a few key Halloween fire safety tips .
Fire Prevention Week is almost here! This year, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is promoting the theme: “Charge Into Fire Safety: 3 Steps” . Running October 6–12, 2025 , it’s a reminder that fire safety starts with smart choices, responsible charging, and proper recycling of batteries. At A to Z Fire , we’re combining this year’s Fire Prevention Week message with our quarterly specials , seasonal safety tips, and new services to help you protect your home, business, and employees .
Even though we’ve had a few cooler nights this past weekend, don’t let your guard down—hurricane season is far from over. Last October, Florida was hit with not one, but two hurricanes, proving that storms can strike late in the year. Power outages, flooding, and fire risks don’t follow a schedule, which is why emergency lighting and fire preparedness should always be top of mind.
With hurricane season here, fire safety often gets overlooked — but it’s more important than ever. Storm damage, power surges, and flooding can all create unexpected fire hazards. Just in the last few weeks, our community has seen: A 3-alarm scrapyard blaze in Tampa that took firefighters all night to contain. A semi-truck fire on I-4 after a driver suffered a medical emergency. A mobile home fire in Tampa that tragically left one person dead. Multiple business fires in St. Pete Beach and Clearwater , leaving owners struggling to recover. These events are sobering reminders that fires can happen anytime, anywhere. The best defense is being prepared.

July in Florida means blistering heat, sudden thunderstorms, and the very real threat of hurricanes. It’s a season where safety can’t be an afterthought — whether you're protecting your business, your team, or your property. At A to Z Fire, we’ve seen how summer weather brings unique fire safety risks. Here’s what to watch for as we hit the heart of hurricane season:
Every year, Florida businesses brace for hurricane season—and with good reason. Power outages, flooding, and evacuation scenarios are common during severe storms, and being prepared can make all the difference when it comes to safety. One of the most overlooked, yet critical, elements of storm readiness? Emergency and exit lighting.
As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, it's easy to get caught up in the fireworks, food, and fun—but don’t forget that July 4th is one of the most fire-prone holidays of the year .
