Dear Parent/Guardian(s):

Imagine you are a young child and you awaken one night to find your bedroom filling with smoke. Your house is on fire! What would you do?

To make sure your child has the skills that can potentially save his or her life, we will be teaching burn prevention and fire safety in class. A key element of this learning process will include a tour at school of the Fire Safety House.

This mobile classroom is specially designed to teach children vital burn prevention and fire escape techniques through a fun, safe simulation of common hazards. The Fire Safety House is equipped with a kitchen, bedroom and living room.

The House fills with a nontoxic, water based smoke. This realistic environment teaches children to “crawl low” to safety. A heated door helps children choose the right exit. An escape ladder is used to exit from the bedroom.

If your child suffers from asthma, other respiratory conditions or allergies that may be irritated by the nontoxic smoke, please indicate that below before allowing him or her to tour the House.

Note: All participants should wear pants/shorts and no-heeled shoes the day of the tour.
