Where firefighters come to talk training
Fire Prevention Week School Tours
I am hoping to get some feedback from others on this. My department has had pretty much the same program for many years. Our program is geared for the younger elementary age, but I am thinking of putting together a program for the middle to high schoolers as well. Our current program starts with a short NFPA Sparky video, then we have a firefighter enter the room in full turnouts and SCBA, and then turns down to his street clothes. Afterwards the kids are given a tour of the fire apparatus, followed by a snack. Feedback from the teachers will always get the response.The kids loved the fire trucks, and the cookies. I am hoping for a little more this year.
Do you differ the program for kids of different ages? A K4 student doesn't grasp information the same way that a 3rd grader will. Any feedback will help.
