Year: 2014

The “After the Fire Program” is a community canvassing program which began on October 1, 2013. The program targets communities in Henrico County that were recently affected by a residential fire. The program is time sensitive and accomplished within a few days of the fire by on-duty fire fighters. The goal of the program is to provide focused public safety education campaigns in these neighborhoods right after an incident while the citizens are still focused on the event.
