Virginia’s Leader in Lightning Protection Celebrates 75th Anniversary with Community Event to Support Landmark Fire Prevention Week Campaign

RICHMOND, Va. -- Two champions of fire prevention and safety are celebrating anniversary milestones this October. Loehr Lightning Protection Co., Virginia's leader in lightning protection system (LPS) services since 1947, is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA) to support the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW) and celebrate its own 75th company anniversary with a community event at the Hazen Memorial Library, in historic Bon Air, Va., on Thursday, October 6, from 3 to 7 p.m.

"Lightning is the weather threat that affects most people in most parts of our state and country, and it's also a leading fire threat," said Kimberly Loehr, president at Loehr Lightning Protection Co. and member of the National Lightning Safety Council. "A lightning strike can pack over 300 million volts of power-mega electricity that can ignite a devastating home or structural fire in seconds."

While safety standard-compliant lightning protection systems (LPS) can provide a safe and effective grounding network to protect structures from the lightning threat, most property owners aren't aware of their availability.

According to experts at the Lightning Protection Institute, the NFPA 780 Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems is recognized as the most comprehensive resource for reducing lightning risks at U.S. properties. The NFPA regularly reviews LPS methods and materials through its code process to make sure that lightning protection methods and materials keep pace with our ever-changing building technology.

This year's FPW campaign, "Fire won't wait. Plan your escape™" seeks to educate the public about simple, but important actions for staying safe in the event of a home fire.

"Today's homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds," said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA.

"Lightning strikes that occur in the darkness of night can be especially difficult to recognize and detect," said Loehr. "Even in the light of day, lightning fires aren't always visible in their initial stages and it's not unusual for these blazes to originate in enclosed spaces like the attic, basement or electrical panels."

NFPA's Fire Prevention campaign is believed to be the longest running public health and safety observance on record. Since 1922, the country has seen huge progress in the fire safety movement with the construction of fire-resistant buildings and improvements in fire suppression techniques.

"Fire Prevention Month is a good time to remind property owners about a very common, very destructive, yet little understood fire risk," added Loehr, who is a NFPA Building Fire Safety Systems section member and longtime supporter of the organization's October campaign. "Partnering with fire safety officials is just one of the ways we've helped build lightning safe communities throughout the years."

To find out more about Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 9-15) programs and activities in Bon Air, Va. please contact Chesterfield Fire and EMS. For more information about Fire Prevention Week and fire prevention in general, visit https://www.nfpa.org/fpw and sparky.org.

ABOUT LOEHR LIGHTNING PROTECTION CO.:

Since 1947, Loehr Lightning Protection Co. has served as Virginia's leader in lightning protection system design, installation and consultation to protect lives, property and assets from lightning's deadly and destructive force. A family-owned women-owned and operated SWaM business, it is LLP's priority to continue its reputation as "A Striking Difference" in the lightning protection industry for many years to come.

Through Charitable Endeavors, Lexi Home Is Bridging the Gap Between Kitchen Necessities and Affordable Cookware

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Lexi Home, a Los Angeles-based kitchenware and home decor retailer, strives to bridge the gap between affordable cookware and kitchen essentials. The retailer is working with aspiring chefs in the L.A. area, providing them with cookware and other essential items. A part of the kitchen essentials manufactured is donated to aspiring chefs. With every kitchen necessity sold, part of the proceeds is donated to charities in the L.A. area to help ease hunger.

On a global scale, "Kitchen essentials from chicken, milk and instant noodles to the ubiquitous potato have become costlier," according to IndiaTimes. The war in Ukraine added to that cost by driving up demand and shortening food supplies. Projections have essential items becoming even costlier in the years to come. Alleviating hunger is one of mankind's' greatest battles. Globally, 10% of the population goes to bed hungry every night, according to estimates.

"Our goal at Lexi Home is to offer affordable, high-quality cookware while giving back to the local community. We give individuals in need - and talented chefs - access to kitchen necessities and kitchenware. A part of our earnings goes to organizations that fight hunger. We hope to expand our operations and charitable activities nationwide," said Lexi Home CEO, Parth Lalchandani.

Cooking education is another initiative the retailer supports. The pandemic caused many changes, including a growing interest in home cooking. This interest continues post-pandemic, with many age groups inspired to be at-home chefs.

A recent study found that millennials are the most adventurous in the kitchen but know the least about cooking and food safety. In response to recent studies and research, Lexi Home is launching cooking education initiatives late in the fall and into the new year. They are a mixture of online cooking courses promoted on social media and the web. Plus, pop-up locations planned for cooking education and product demonstrations in LA. Inspiring chefs and influencers are partners in these initiatives.

Currently, the retailer is preparing its humanitarian efforts for the fall. These efforts will coincide with marketing and publicity campaigns raising awareness about hunger and promoting cooking education.

ABOUT LEXI HOME:

A home decor and kitchenware retailer, Lexi Home is in Torrance, outside Los Angeles. The company specializes in creating functional kitchen and home goods. The company has spent more than 30 years emphasizing adaptability, ease of use and price. Diversity among its leaders and employees is at the core of its forward-thinking culture. It was one of the first decor and kitchenware retailers to migrate its retail operations online. A wide range of products is available through the website and e-commerce platforms.
