The presentation was made by Mr. James Griffith, Fire Safety Coordinator to Assistant Fire Chief Jack Spurgeon who coordinates the annual Fire Safety and Prevention program in the Bristol Tennessee City Schools, local daycares, Headstart and other Pre-K schools throughout the area. “The best way to fight a fire is to prevent it,” said Griffith. “We have seen children save their own lives and those of their families through this program,” continued Girffith.
