Education

Depending on grade level, students are given the opportunity to demonstrate various fire safety techniques. Younger children demonstrate techniques such as crawling low under smoke, checking the door in the mock bedroom for heat, escaping through the window in the mock bedroom and of course the most important of all: stop, drop and roll. Older children are taught about the crime of arson, safe babysitting techniques and the proper operation of a fire extinguisher.
