The Kingsport Fire Department has initiated a partnership with local State Farm agent Tyla Laughlin to boost community fire safety education. This collaboration involves the distribution of special fire prevention kits during Fire Prevention Week, which includes materials for children such as stickers, posters, and coloring pages. KFD officials aim to engage children so they can relay important fire safety messages to their families, emphasizing the significance of smoke alarms in homes. Fire prevention education continues to be a year-round commitment for the department.
