SCHOOL PROGRAMS

One of the reasons the United States has the worst fire statistics in the world is the lack of fire safety education in the classroom. The National Fire Protection Agency has developed two proven highly successful curriculums in "Learn Not to Burn" and "Risk Watch." Connie Forster is the contact for schools and has begun to work with local teachers in implementing this into the standards curriculum. If you are a teacher or educator and would like more information call 763-767-4003.

If you have preschoolers that attend any kind of day care and wish to have a fire safety program for them call the number above and they will schedule a time to come out.
