The Risk Watch program was developed by the National Fire Prevention Association and Lowe s Home Safety Council in the United States. It has been adapted for use in Canada and was brought to several Brampton public schools in 1999 on a trial basis. According to George Hitchcock, the Brampton Fire and Emergency Services fire and life safety education divisional chief, the pilot project was a real success. Now, the program has been implemented in about 10 schools in both the Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board. But to reach more students, the program will need more financial help from the community.
