The Fire-ED Interactive System fills a critical gap between those who need training and knowledge, and those who can provide it. I am proud to be a part of this community and collaborate with experts trained in such a wide range of emergency services, business communications, product development and distribution. This combined effort will make a difference in many lives and on so many levels. There is no greater cause than Saving Lives, Injuries & Property loss; and I believe Fire-ED doe...

I wish knowledge and education alone could have prevented my husband’s death, but even the most educated of our society cannot control what is only God’s will. Through the ups & downs and what seems like endless grief, the ones who have a deep and common goal to save what is sacred – lives, somehow find each other, and you know when it's real. It’s a glue in a way; a bond, and the ones who have found it need few words to acknowledge the connection. In this case, I found it in the good pe...

For years 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. The firefighter community of 100’s of 1000’s is needed to make a movement that leaves a positive impact on society. It has to start somewhere so count me in as one of the first!

My why? I do what I do for kids. My son Brendan is a great kid who I’m proud to say has followed my path to become a firefighter. He and I work toge...

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...

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 Interactive mission is outstanding! Its contribution of providing brand new cutting edge resources to help children learn about prevention and safety, especially “Fire Safety” is extraordinary. I was immediately drawn to this incredible endeavor of Fire-ED when i saw the original Fully Involved Teaching Tool being presented by Tracy Last and Lucia LaRose at the 2015 CFB Esquimalt MET Job Fair I attended for Canadian Forces Veterans.

As a Veteran my Military background gav...

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.

Jason is President & Senior Adviser for National Life Safety Group specializing in fire,...

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...

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...

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...
