We use the Fire-ED "Fully Involved" Teaching Tool and find it to be a very innovative way to create fire safety behaviors in children of all ages.  In our department, Firefighters are as much a part of Fire prevention and education as any other member in our rank. Our Firefighters are constantly searching for new ways to keep our community safe with unique training. Every school within the City of Elko is educated by the Firefighters from our department.

Everyone has an innate desire to control the external circumstances and events that impact us. Yet few of us recognize the benefits of managing the reactions within us. Until parents and educators teach children to replace emotionally driven, reflexive reactions with calm, measured responses, specialized training is necessary.

In my experience civil servants are some of the most resistant humans to change when change is perceived to be encouraged by civilian consultants who live and ...

The Fire-ED Fully Involved Teaching Tool is outstanding! I personally contributed to the development of this resource by consulting when Tracy first came to my fire station to show me the original sketches. Some months later she came to show me the first prototype! To see it so well completed was well beyond my expectations. Now that I have purchased a kit for my own department, the local Preschools are excited to have this great resource at their disposal.

It is my distinct honor an...

I have formed a strong and deeply rooted inner desire to change the way the fire service brings prevention education into communities around the world. Existing programs aren’t doing the job the way we all seem to think they are.  The firefighter community of 100’s of 1000’s is needed to make a movement that leaves a positive impact on vulnerable kid's lives.

The Fire-ED Interactive Teaching Tool is unlike any other educational safety system I have seen on the market. It goes beyond providing the facilitator with materials and lessons plans, by actually providing the background knowledge and training for the facilitator to confidently teach the lessons. This seamless system eliminates excuses for not providing fire prevention education in every school and community.

As a special education teacher, I am always looking for hands-on activiti...

The critical need to protect children from preventable fires exists and Fire-ED Interactive is an incredible, innovative approach to engage with communities to help ensure children get the required education and skills instilled at an early age.

When I first saw the mission at Fire-ED and Prevention Connection, I immediately understood what it stands for, I just knew that it would be a successful mission in the pursuit to protect people from the horrible effects of fire. When Fire-ED...

I saw the original “Fully Involved” Teaching Tool at the BC Fire Chief's convention in 2013 and I bought one for our department from that show. Now there is a Community Safety Facilitator Curriculum to train firefighters and civilians the ins and outs of pub ed. The courses were not available in the first series, but for me training was a non issue. As a passionate individual for fire and life safety, as well as firefighter and fire chief, I had the need and desire for this resource in my co...

Of the three components of fire prevention – engineering, enforcement, and education – we, as a fire service, need to be more mindful of the the education component being the most critical factor. Behavior only changes with education. Fire-ED is leading the charge in fire prevention education!

I am pleased to be a consultant and content contributor for Community Safety Facilitator Curriculum. This curriculum consists of nine units to clearly outline the role that education and the Fi...

As a retired Fire Captain I see the potential and value in this mission to support community, ultimately save lives and protect families! The Fire-ED Interactive System with its online portal, training courses and the teaching tool, is exactly what every community needs as a resource to teach fire safety. It's all about PREVENTION, PROTECTION, PLANNING, and PRACTICE, and it's so easy.......

The Fire-ED Fully Involved Teaching Tool is a fantastic resource designed to enhance public education programs that are delivered to communities by fire and life safety educators. This teaching tool is incredible for engaging kids and really making them think about fire safety and how it applies to their own homes. We have found that parents and teachers also learn that some things they take for granted at home might not be that safe. This truly is a great teaching aid and educational progra...
