Would a scout group have different
needs than students in a classroom?
Would seniors living in their own homeneed a different program than the ones
living in assisted living?
Would a family from another culture
understand the safety messages we
grew up with?

Fire will always be a potential
threat to the lives and the wellbeing of every American. It is
appropriate to close with the
reminder that todaysfirefighters and educators
have to be better trained to
meet the demands of PublicSafety, this includes Fire and
Life Safety Education.
Thank you for your time!
