Collaborating with the Fire-ED Community members is an ideal way to share knowledge on new or improved services that can only help to better serve children in crisis. Together we have a more integrated and coordinated approach to fulfilling beneficiary needs and making better use of existing resources. By mutually sharing ideas and services we are both able to benefit in achieving a wider geographical reach or access to new beneficiary groups. The sharing of knowledge, good practice and info...

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.......

A PERSONAL TRAGEDY THAT CHANGED MY LIFE April 2007 0300 hours (3 AM)…… I received a call from ...

The idea of a group like the Fire-ED Interactive Community, bringing together people and organizations that work to keep our kids safe, really appealed to me when I first saw it through LinkedIn. Fire-ED Interactive gives me an opportunity, as a local Safe Kids coalition coordinator, to tap into a growing network of information and other injury prevention professionals and that can only help me do my job better. It also gives me an opportunity to help others do the job better in their commun...

As a Fire Prevention Officer and Educator I can appreciate the benefits the Fire-ED Community has available to help our industry. I am very intrigued by the sharing of programs and materials and the whole professional networking opportunities that Fire-ED makes available. There are lots of great people with great ideas in fire prevention, but we need to get better at sharing and collaborating. No sense in re-inventing the wheel, right?

I’m a Canadian by birth though we moved to Austr...

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...

Rarely do I get an opportunity to collaborate with my colleagues across the country. So a few years back, in an effort to make that happen, I tried to start a public safety educators group to keep conversations going, share ideas, collaborate on projects, and converse about fire prevention and life safety. Well that group didn’t take off.

When I found out about the Fire-ED Interactive Community I saw what they stand for and quickly realized I don’t have to recreate the wheel but rath...

The collaborative efforts of corporations, associations, and public safety agencies is truly a force that drives successful community involvement initiatives. Fostering strong sense of community is a goal I live for day in and out, especially as an advocate for wellness of our children. Cancer is a battle that small children should not be fighting. To that end it is with all of my strength, endurance, community connections and innate desire to concur cancer that you will find me supporting k...

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...

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 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...
