Since 1922, NFPA's focus on fire safety has been teaching people how to prevent fire and protect themselves and their loved ones from its associated dangers. With your involvement, we can reach more people than ever with this vital message. These step-by-step guides make it easier than ever for your fire department to participate.
• Learning stations The next time a classroom visits your fire department, make it an interactive experience.
• Open house Decide what you want to achieve at your open house, and who your audience is. You'll want to make sure your open house activities reinforce this year's Fire Prevention Week theme and provide useful information on how to prevent and survive a fire. Most likely, kids and parents will be visiting your open house, so messages and activities should be primarily tailored to these age groups.
