Natural Gas Exhibit Provides Public With Valuable Home Safety Tips
NAPERVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 27, 2007--Nicor Gas will
participate in 54 Fire Department Open Houses across its service
territory to educate the public on natural gas safety. The program
will run through October 14 with the majority of open houses to take
place during National Fire Prevention Week (October 7-13). This is the
third year in a row that Nicor Gas has supported the local Fire
Department Open Houses and the 2007 program has expanded, compared to
last year, from 41 to 54 locations.
"At Nicor Gas our number one priority is providing safe and
reliable service to our customers and these open houses serve as
venues to communicate important safety information to Illinois
communities. We are proud to partner with our local fire departments
on these important initiatives," said Margi Schiemann, Director of
Community Relations for Nicor Gas.
The Fire Department Open Houses are fun family-friendly events
which are held to inform the community members about home safety
measures that can help prevent fires. At each of the 54 locations,
Nicor Gas will display a colorful tabletop exhibit of a family home
with callouts to key natural gas safety tips. To help showcase the
importance of replacing brass appliance connectors, the exhibit will
also feature samples for guests to examine of "correct" and
"incorrect" appliance connectors. To engage the younger audience,
Nicor Gas representatives will conduct a drawing at each location and
award an individual winner with a prize. To enter the prize drawing,
participants just need to answer a few simple but important questions
about natural gas safety. The winners will receive a Lego(R) Fire
Station (includes fire house, two fire trucks, and four fire
fighters).
As part of the company's commitment to safety, more than 80 Nicor
Gas "Employee Ambassadors" have volunteered to participate in the open
houses and will be on hand to staff the Nicor Gas exhibit and impart
important safety information to customers. "Nicor Gas is committed to
contributing to the well-being of our communities. The open houses
allow us to spend time in the communities where we work and live,"
said Schiemann.
"Fire department open houses are a great way to get the community
out to their local fire stations to learn about fire prevention and
have some fun. We have enjoyed working with Nicor Gas on a number of
initiatives and value their partnership. Nicor Gas' involvement in so
many open house events is just one example of their commitment to
working together with the fire service." said John Wu, Fire Chief from
the City of Naperville.
