Domino's Pizza Collaborates with NFPA for Fire Safety
Participating stores may deliver free pizza to customers who have properly functioning smoke alarms.
Domino's Pizza Inc. (Nasdaq: DPZ), a leader in the pizza industry, is excited to announce a partnership with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to promote fire safety messages nationwide. This collaboration is designed to inform and engage communities about the importance of having working smoke alarms in every home.
Fun and Engaging Fire Safety Measures
During Fire Prevention Week, customers of participating Domino's stores in the United States might be pleasantly surprised when their order arrives alongside a fire engine. In this unique initiative, if the smoke alarms in a customer's home are functioning correctly, they receive their pizza free of charge. If the alarms are not working, local firefighters will assist by replacing batteries or installing new smoke alarms, ensuring homes are safer.
The Excitement of the Initiative
Jenny Fouracre, senior director of external communications at Domino's, expressed enthusiasm for the annual collaboration. "Every year, our stores look forward to teaming up with local fire departments and the NFPA to spread vital fire safety messages in an exciting and unexpected manner. For nearly two decades, we have implemented this initiative, reinforcing the critical nature of working smoke alarms in a way that is both enjoyable and effective," she remarked.
Focus on Lithium-Ion Battery Safety
This year's campaign emphasizes the theme, "Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home." Participating Domino's stores will distribute flyers on top of pizza boxes, containing important fire safety tips regarding lithium-ion batteries. These tips stress the necessity of buying, charging, and recycling lithium-ion batteries in a safe manner to minimize risks.
Critical Risks Associated with Fire
Lorraine Carli, NFPA's vice president of outreach and advocacy, highlights the ongoing dangers posed by fire. She states, "Fire continues to pose real dangers to the public, particularly in residential settings where a significant number of home fire fatalities occur. It is crucial for homes to be equipped with working smoke alarms, granting residents the essential time needed to escape safely in the event of a fire."
Essential Smoke Alarm Installation and Maintenance Tips
As part of this initiative, the NFPA provides valuable safety guidelines aimed at ensuring all homes are equipped with proper fire protection:
- INSTALL: Ensure that smoke alarms are installed on every level of the home, including the basement, in every bedroom, and outside of each separate sleeping area.
- TEST: Regularly test smoke alarms on a monthly basis by pressing the test button.
- REPLACE: Smoke alarms should be replaced after ten years or if they cease to function properly.
