Every Hero Doesn't Wear A Cape: Local departments celebrate national Fire Prevention Week

     Not Every Hero Wears A Cape, but area firefighters are often exactly that and are dedicated to saving lives in case of fire. Several local fire departments are hosting events during Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 6 through 12, to help educate and inform local families.
     The local fire departments are teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®)-the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years-to promote the Fire Prevention Week campaign,
"Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!" The campaign works to educate everyone about the small but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe.

Old friends

When Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy agreed to speak at the Plymouth Men's Book Club last week, she was surprised to find the man who first hired her, former prosecutor George Ward, at right, in the audience. The Men's Book Club, organized by Fred Hill, at left, includes no reading, but does focus on charitable contributions. Worthy spoke about her experiences as a judge and now a prosecutor and her charity, The Children's Center, in Detroit. The center serves nearly 7,500 children annually who struggle with behavioral, emotional, educational or physical challenges. Photo by Dave Willett
