Public fire and life safety education is near and dear to my heart.  Being a proud father, and also having the opportunity to consult with industry leading organizations on protecting their own respective families, has led to me to support the Fire-ED mission for eliminating preventable fires.  Best practice programs to further educate is a passion in which I share with the Fire-ED Community.

Fire prevention education and community risk reduction are the cornerstone of our fire prevention program. I am dedicated to community education and always look to offer fresh and exciting fire education and outreach programs to city residents and business owners to reduce the risk of fire, serious injury, and death. My department strives to reduce the devastating effects of fire within the community by providing continuous fire prevention awareness and injury reduction information through a...

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...

The Victoria Fire Department purchased the original Fire-ED Fully Involved Teaching Tool in 2015 to enrich our public education programming. Upon receipt, we started using the system during our education sessions. In the past three months, we have taught over thirty lessons to approximately one thousand children aged two and a half to seven years old. The program has proven versatile and engages both preschool and elementary school age levels.

The teaching system is well equipped wit...

A tragic fact comes to my mind, when I think of how prevention and education programs need to be greatly improved upon. That is today, in 2015, the stark reality that we have over 70 children attending Burn Camp with 5-10 of those being new campers each year. Stats are increasing – not declining, and to me this is unacceptable.

IN my roles as a 29 year career firefighter, former burn fund director, scout leader, parent volunteer with our pony club, Red Cross first aid instructor, etc...

When someone has an idea or a program that is working and making a difference, share it so that all of our communities can benefit. Tell your story, share your story it might inspire someone or trigger someone to take it one step forward. That way we all win by enhancing life safety within our communities. I am a firm believer there should be no secrets in public education and am pleased to offer any of the videos and media resources to help benefit the Fire-ED Interactive programs.

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...

It is such an honor for me to be working so closely with Tracy Last, designer of the remarkable Fire-ED Interactive System, also Founder and Chief Inspiration Officer at Fire-ED. I met Tracy attending one of the Dale Carnegie programs I instruct. Years later Tracy looked me up, we met, became friends and now I have been recruited to the Fire-ED Task Force! I believe wholeheartedly in this mission in teaching kids life safety skills that all kids need to learn in order to be leaders to future...

Innovative, agile mindset oriented organizations, like Fire-ED Interactive, appeal to me. It is my passion to link together fire prevention, and social entrepreneurship where I believe lies endless opportunities. My role as Senior Global Adviser at Fire-ED allows me to apply my knowledge and skills alongside equally passionate social entrepreneurs. Together we have the means to generate awareness through prevention campaigns and motivate people to change their safety attitude and behaviors. ...

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...
