The department, in consultation with the department of education, shall develop and implement a plan for educating both children and parents about fire safety and prevention. Such plan shall include but need not be limited to public service announcements, outreach in public and non-public schools about common fire dangers for children and preventative measures to be taken by parents.

                     b. Beginning January 31, 2019 and annually thereafter, the department shall electronically submit to the mayor and the speaker of the council and post on its website a report describing the activities taken pursuant to this section during the previous calendar year.

§ 2.
