Transworld, Inc. had a great time last night at the James Island PSD Fire Department’s Annual Fire Prevention Night!
We enjoyed being able to support and honor the local fire departments and to help educate the community on fire prevention. Electrical fires account for over 20% of structural fires. We hope that through awareness and education we can help reduce the number of fires in the community.
Thank you to everyone who shared a fire safety tip or story to enter into our raffle to win a night to the movies. We enjoyed reading through all the fire safety tips and here are some of our favorites!
