Any "teaching tools" used to help children learn should be engaging, interactive, easy to use, and easy to maintain. It’s a bonus for it to be applicable to all ages, usable in a variety of settings, and be easily presented by firefighters, prevention personnel or teachers. When I find a tool that meets all this criteria, price becomes secondary. The Fire-ED “Fully Involved” Teaching Tool certainly meets my expectations and can be used by firefighters to take to the schools and use as part o...

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.

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...

It is imperative that our children learn at a very young age how to protect themselves. We were EXTREMELY lucky that our five children were not injured – or worse – when our home burnt down. It breaks our hearts as to how many other children are not that lucky. But, LUCK does not have to play a part in it – if they are taught – and trained – at a young age how to protect and save themselves. The Fire-ED Interactive System is a life saver – literally!

In February of 1999 our home burn...

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...

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...

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...

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 pleasure to share...
