Proposed Project 

Evaluation and Assessment of the 

Effectiveness of Activities Supporting 

Fire Prevention and Safety—New—

National Center for Injury Prevention 

and Control (NCIPC), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

This project will evaluate the effect of 

fire safety and prevention education for 

second grade children and identify 

program components that contribute to 

successful outcomes. The fire safety 

prevention education programs are 

delivered by fire department personnel 

and funded by the United States Fire 

Administration’s (USFA) Assistance to 

Firefighters Grant Program (AFGP). 

Deaths from fires and burns are the sixth 

most common cause of unintentional 

injury-related deaths in the United 

States with over three-fourths of firerelated deaths and three-fourths of firerelated injuries resulting from house 

fires. Children are particularly at high 

risk for injury with residential fire death 

rates approximately two times that of 

adult age groups. The prevention 

programs that are funded by AFGP 

provide local fire departments with 

resources to conduct fire safety 

education for elementary school 

children. None of these programs has 

been systematically evaluated to 

determine impact on fire safety 

knowledge, skills, and behaviors. The 

proposed project does not assume a 

direct link from knowledge, skills, and 

behaviors to reductions in fire death 

rates; however, these intermediate 

outcomes may predispose and enable 

children to protect themselves from firerelated injury. 

Children’s knowledge, skills, and 

behaviors will be studied as a function 

of time (pre-, immediate post-, and 6 

month post-), geographic setting (urban, 

rural, suburban) and instructional 

format (classroom, safety trailer, 

classroom + safety trailer, none). The 

design used in this study is a 3 × 4 

factorial design with repeated measures. 

A survey will be used to assess 

children’s fire safety knowledge, skills, 

and behaviors. Information will also be 

collected from the children’s parents on 

fire safety activities within the home. 

Teachers, school administrators, and 

the fire fighters delivering the program 

will complete surveys to gather 

information on messages delivered, 

props used, and possible additional 

exposures to fire safety education. 

Information will also be collected 

regarding the school and Fire 

Department personnel’s perception of 

program sustainability and the 

relationship between the Fire 

Department and school. The only cost to 

the respondents is the time involved to 

complete the survey.
