Participating stores may deliver free pizza to
customers who have working smoke alarms
ANN
ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 5, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the largest
pizza company in the world, and the National Fire Protection
Association® (NFPA®) are joining forces to
deliver fire safety messages to homes across the country.
Participating stores may deliver free pizza
to customers who have working smoke alarms.
During Fire Prevention Week (Oct.
8-14), participating Domino's franchise-owned and corporate
stores throughout the U.S. will highlight this year's campaign
theme, "Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire
prevention," with flyers on top of pizza boxes. The flyers will
include important fire safety tips – such as educating everyone on
ways to prevent cooking fires and how to respond to them if they
occur.
Customers who order from participating Domino's stores
throughout the U.S. during Fire Prevention Week may also be
surprised when their delivery arrives accompanied by a fire engine.
If the smoke alarms in the home are working, the pizza is free. If
the smoke alarms are not working, the firefighters will replace the
batteries or install fully functioning alarms.
"Every year, Domino's stores look forward to partnering with
their local fire departments and the NFPA to spread fire safety
messages in an exciting and unexpected way," said Jenny Fouracre, Domino's senior director of
communications. "This is the 16th year that Domino's has brought
the program to neighborhoods across the U.S."
"Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire
injuries, and the second-leading cause of home fire deaths," said
Lorraine Carli, NFPA's vice
president of outreach and advocacy. "That is why it is so important
that everyone is aware of simple but important actions they can
take to keep themselves and those around them safe when cooking. We
hope to raise awareness about these potentially life-saving
messages through our partnership with Domino's."
Fire Safety Tips from Domino's and NFPA
- Always keep a close eye on what you're cooking. For foods with
longer cook times, such as those that are simmering or baking, set
a timer to help monitor them carefully.
- Clear the cooking area of combustible items and keep anything
that can burn, such as dish towels, oven mitts, food packaging, and
paper towels.
- Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. Keep a lid
nearby when cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid
over the pan and turn off the burner.
- Create a "kid and pet free zone" of at least three feet (one
meter) around the cooking area and anywhere else hot food or drink
is prepared or carried.
