Fire prevention requested

Editor,

An open letter to the Ocean Pines Fire Department

The house fires are too close to home and the two recent ones on Sandy Hook and Ocean Parkway are total devastation. How does it happen?

We should look toward total prevention of house fires through education. If the fire department would speak very loudly about what caused the fire and how the home owner could have prevented it, it could prevent the next fire.

We should all use good thinking about the care of our homes, but I think we need to think prevention at all times. We also need reminders that may seem obvious to some, but not others.

Firemen … talk to us about prevention and help us make OP a safer community through education. We need to make your job easier.
