Bibb reports that in 1993, the house was moved to a lot across from Parma Community Hospital. Three years later, Desmarteau and his team of volunteers opened the Parma Regional Fire Safety House. As part of the safety program, they teach that the most important thing you could ever have in your home is a smoke detector. More than 10,000 children have heard the lesson. In the house, there are toys that have melted from the fire, which exceeded 1,600 degrees within the first two minutes.
