Fire Education
Electrical Saftey, Smoke Alarms, Escape Planning, Match and Lighter Safety, Kitchen Safety, Calling 911

The Fire program will be based upon the Risk Watch curriculum. The class will identify and remove all of the hazards from the “Hazard House”. When finished the "Hazard House" will become a safe house.

The children will then tour Sparky’s apartment where they are taught kitchen and bathroom safety.

Sparky’s bedroom is equipped with a non-toxic “smoke machine” which demonstrates to the students how smoke would fill a room. The children experience how to check doors for heat by touching the door with the back of their hand. The door is warm to touch and they then exit through the bedroom window. When everyone is out safely, they discuss calling 911 from a neighbor's house.
