Safe Oswego - Community Risk Reduction!

The Oswego Fire Department is proud to announce the launch of Safe Oswego - a new Community Risk Reduction (CRR) initiative designed to improve safety, preparedness, and quality of life throughout the Oswego community. Safe Oswego will focus on five major pillars - Education, Prevention, Outreach, Preparedness, and Partnership.
Safe Oswego will serve as the department’s umbrella program for public education, prevention, and community outreach efforts. The initiative will include smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector installations, fire safety education, senior safety programs, emergency preparedness outreach, lithium-ion battery safety education, and additional community-based risk reduction efforts.
“Safe Oswego represents our commitment to protecting residents beyond emergency response,” said Oswego Fire Chief Paul Conzone. “By working proactively with our community, we can help prevent emergencies, reduce injuries, and make Oswego a safer place for everyone.”
One of the first major components of the program will be the department’s free smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector installation initiative for eligible residents. Oswego Firefighters will work directly with community members to ensure their homes are equipped with working alarms and that families understand the importance of home fire safety and escape planning.
The Safe Oswego initiative reflects the national fire service model of Community Risk Reduction, which focuses on identifying local risks and implementing programs that reduce preventable emergencies through education, prevention, and partnerships.
Residents will see Safe Oswego represented through community events, public safety campaigns, school outreach, safety checks, and collaborative efforts with local organizations and agencies. The Oswego Fire Department encourages residents, neighborhood organizations, and community partners to get involved in helping build a safer and stronger Oswego. Additional information about program services, funding, eligibility, and upcoming events will be announced in the coming weeks. 🚒
