Melissa in the Morning: National Fire Prevention Week

WICC The Voice of Connecticut · Oct 7, 2026 · 14m

This week is National Fire Prevention Week. It’s a chance to provide an important opportunity to highlight not only fire safety and preparedness, but also the critical need for Red Cross volunteers. As we head into the colder months, when home fires become more common, Disaster Action Team volunteers are needed more than ever. We spoke with Richard Branigan, CEO of the American Red Cross in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
