All too often firefighters are called on at the last minute to present information about fire safety. Teaching fire safety to the public requires formal training in fire education, which may not be readily available. This book is designed to assist any person assigned to public fire education. Learn how to relate to audiences of all ages – whether it’s giving a fire station tour, explaining fire safety in schools, installing smoke detectors for the elderly – and make a lasting impression, one that could one day save a life. The information found in this book will enable you to start new fire safety education program(s) or to improve existing ones. You will learn the various components of fire prevention and what makes public fire education fun and worthwhile. This text contains games, projects, quizzes and posters that you can reproduce to use in demonstrations for children, teenagers, and adults. Sample handouts are included to help your audience identify fire hazards at home, create escape routes to be used in an emergency, and more!"
