Kicking off All Hands On Prevention in the Cleveland and Woodley Park neighborhoods. Fire Marshal Edward Kauffman briefs his teams before they hit the streets to visit homes, providing fire safety literature and checking smoke alarms. #DCsBravest

Why does Odin start to bark when he approaches the Cleveland Park firehouse of Engine 28 and Truck 14? It’s because he is guaranteed a treat from #DCsBravest.

It’s our monthly All Hands on Prevention, where we visit a neighborhood each month to preach fire prevention.

Good morning @clevelandpark. Don’t be alarmed if a firefighter knocks on your door in the 9AM hour. They are there to provide fire safety literature and if invited in, will be happy to test your smoke alarms and replace free of charge if needed.
