When there is a fire, we call 119. 119 are three important numbers to us. November 9th is Chinese Fire Prevention(防止)Day. November is in autumn. The weather is dry and windy. It's very easy to start a fire. That's why we have Chinese Fire Prevention Day on that day. Also it's easy for people to remember because we have 119 as fire emergency number(火警电话).
