We are committed to helping the youth of our community learn how to prevent fires and to teach them what to do in case of an emergency. Our volunteers speak to classes and educators throughout South Whidbey. Most activities culminate during Fire Prevention Week (usually the first full week of October). This outreach is vital and we appreciate your support in encouraging students to actively participate.
Each year in the United States an estimated 2,800 children age 14 or younger are injured and 850 killed in residential fires. Of these children, over 40 percent are under the age five, 70 percent are under the age of 10.

U.S. FIRE ADMINISTRATION FOR KIDS WEB SITE

On this Web site, you will find short lessons about fire escape planning, smoke alarms and general home fire safety. It is recommended that an adult guide children through the lessons. Each lesson is followed by a brief five-question quiz to test children’s knowledge of the subject after they have worked through the lesson. Also on the site, you will find games to reinforce the information learned in the lessons. Finally, through a 10-question quiz, children will have the opportunity to earn a Jr. Fire Marshal certificate signed by the Assistant Administrator, U.S. Fire Administration.
