STATE FARM® PARTNERS WITH 4-TIME OLYMPIAN “JOETTA” AND FIRST RESPONDER “TYRONE” TO INCREASE AWARENESS FOR FIRE SAFETY MONTH

-- Leading Insurance Company helps Educate Communities with 4-Part Series on JoTyme Fitness ‘Be Extraordinary’ Podcast in October --

(September 28, 2021-NEW JERSEY/ATLANTA/ALABAMA) October is National Fire Prevention Month and the nation’s largest home and auto insurance provider, State Farm® is committed to raising fire safety awareness and educating families, students and communities across the US. To help spread the word, State Farm® has teamed up with 4-time Star Olympian, Joetta and retired firefighter, Tyrone Johnson, to host a series of podcasts.

In line with State Farm’s mission to help people manage the risk of everyday life and recover from the unexpected, the company recognizes Fire Prevention Month and has adopted the national theme from the National Fire Protection Association, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety™”. Alarm notifications increased exponentially in the background of people’s homes during the Covid-19 pandemic with families working and learning remotely. This interactive session will showcase ways to protect your family before fire occurs and how to recover after the fire.



"State Farm is honored to share information that will keep our communities safe. Our goal is to create safer and more educated communities. Now more than ever it is important to be prepared for unexpected challenges, but also to have a plan for future successes. The ‘BE Extraordinary’ Podcast, along with local State Farm agents, will provide great information weekly that can benefit all,” explains Arlene J. Lester,

State Farm® Corporate Responsibility Analyst.



JoTyme Fitness Co-Founder, Joetta continues, “We are excited to work with State Farm®, a household name in insurance, to disseminate this powerful information through our podcast and the many people who will benefit as a result.”
