The primary mission is to enable students to recognize the dangers of fire, and more specifically the fire hazards that tobacco products pose. Fire safety can easily be combined with a math, science, language arts, health, or physical education lesson.
Firefighters deliver engaging lessons that complement the classroom teacher's.
The goal is to show children the firefighter and teacher collaborating. Although fire safety is supposed to be included in the health curriculum, many teachers do not feel they have the subject matter expertise to teach about fire. The S.A.F.E. Program creates working partnerships between firefighters, classroom teachers, and tobacco control specialists. If you would like to learn more about the S.A.F.E. Program contact your local Fire Dept. This page has been accessed 319 times.
