MI Prevention

MI Prevention was created in 2017 with a group of volunteers across the State of Michigan that developed a 3-year strategic plan to reduce fire fatalities across our State. Our mission is to provide sustainable community risk reduction programs to minimize fire deaths, injuries, and property loss within the state of Michigan. We will achieve our goals by fostering collaborative relationships, implementing education programs, establish data and analytics and develop more strategic community outreach.
