The Providence Bruins, in conjunction with True Value and The Rhode Island Fire Marshal's office, announced today that they will partner up to host "Fire Safety Night" this season at the Dunkin' Donuts Center Providence. This special event will be held on Opening Night, Friday, October 15. The Bruins will drop the puck on their 13th AHL season that night, when they host the Springfield Falcons at 7:05 p.m.

"We are happy to team up with True Value and The Rhode Island Fire Marshal for this special event," said Bruins Co-President Matt Poore. "True Value has been a loyal corporate partner with us, and to be involved with them on something as important as fire safety reflects our commitment to raising awareness on key issues in the community. We are proud to help educate the public on ways to help prevent tragedies."

Fire Safety Night is just one part of Fire Safety Month, a special awareness program in October sponsored by True Value. The monthly promotion highlights the importance of smoke alarms and home escape routes, while also educating people on fire prevention, carbon monoxide safety and the use of "9-1-1" in emergency situations.

They will be handing out fire safety brochures, while also running safety videos at their tables. In addition, there will also be a "9-1-1" simulator, and home simulators. A fire truck will be in front of the Dunkin' Donuts Center, as will a carbon monoxide display.
