The preservation of our local and regional history is important for the residents of our area in order for them to have an understanding of their surroundings and to take pride in where they live. It can also be utilized as an economic benefit from the many tourists coming to Toledo Bend Lake.

State Farm is delivering Fire Prevention Week toolkits to more than 300 fire departments across the U.S.  including Louisiana. The Sabine Parish Central Station and Chief Scott Gowen were among the stations selected to receive one.

Each toolkit includes a host of resources for promoting Fire Prevention Week, including brochures, magnets, posters and more. The Fire Department will be sharing these resources at schools and other community events this fall in support of the campaign.
