I am pleased to provide you with this Senior Citizen's Fire Fighter's Safety Guide to reduce the chance of fire or injury in your home. This is also a guide to the services provided by the Honolulu Fire Department, including free blood pressure tests, a fire safety check of your building, first response to medical emergencies and, of course, fire fighting.

Fires are one of the major "accidents" affecting our seniors. However, by taking a few precautions, you can reduce the possibility of fire in your home.

I encourage you to keep this publication handy at all times.

Mufi Hannemann, Mayor
City and County of Honolulu
