This week is National Fire Prevention Week, and the Taylorville Fire Department is doing its part to teach kids what to do if they are caught in a fire.

Taylorville Fire Department Captain Matthew Adermann says area preschools will be making a visit to the fire station this week.

Adermann also wants to remind people of some common sense safety tips for preventing fires.

Fire Prevention Week has been put on nationally by the National Fire Protection Association for more than 90 years.
