The Task Force at PCI understands the challenges faced by those, out on the front lines, trying to reduce preventable

The Scope The death or serious injury to a child, from preventable causes,

has a profound impact on more than just the victim’s immediate

family. The repercussions reverberate throughout the

community affecting among others: family and friends;

schoolmates and teachers; and the first responders who

answered the call. When a preventable fire related accident

claims a child, or seriously burns a child, it calls into question our

ability as a community to protect the most vulnerable among us.

The Facts Fire and burns pose one of the greatest threats to a child

reaching adulthood. While it’s important children not play with

matches or lighters, it is far more important they learn a broad

range of skills necessary to avoid becoming a victim of fire, a fire

that overwhelmingly will happen in the place where they live

(According to United States Fire Administration data,

“Residential” is the leading property type for fire deaths (75.7%),

fire injuries (79.1%) and fire dollar loss (52.2%).

Fire and injury prevention education is the key to keeping an

estimated 40 children age 0-14 from dying in a fire and another

770 from being hospitalized for serious burn-related injuries

each year. The majority of those deaths (75%) were due to

smoke inhalation.

Think about this statement for a moment: at the time that the

fire first produced smoke, the child was alive. If every home

had a working smoke alarm, and every child knew what to do

when that smoke alarm sounded, we could effectively eliminate

preventable deaths due to smoke inhalation.

The Problem Public Fire and Life Safety Educators agree that impactful

prevention education can save property, lives, avoid burn-

related injuries and other preventable causes that can occur in

the home. Consistent delivery of impactful programming has its

limitations due to; 1. Limited personnel, 2. Limited outreach, 3.

Limited resources, 4. Limited budgets.

Learn How NOT to Become a Victim of Fire!

The Challenge Delivering consistent fire and life safety messaging, as

often as possible, and to as many people as possible

each year. Also, access to affordable, quality, teaching

tools that are age appropriate and fit within their

allotted time for presentation.

The Opportunity The “Fully Involved” Home Safe System (HSTS)

provides a consistent teaching tool that “plays to” the

learning strength of most children ages 5-8 and 9-12:

hands-on (tactile) learning.

Fire and life safety education outreach coordinators

who tap into this resource will be able to expand the

delivery cadre! The Community Safety Facilitator

Program (CSFP) and HSTS is designed for adults young

and old to facilitate. Military spouses and veterans,

parks and recreation staff, librarians, teachers, daycare

operators, Boy and Girl Scouts, parents, caregivers and

babysitters can take the online CSFP.

So there you have it, the solutions to The Problem: (1)

more people trained to deliver programs; (2) the

ability to deliver more programs; (3) an “out of the

box” solution for everyone to use; and (4) a teaching

system that’s economical and portable.

Public fire educators who have used the “Fully

Involved” Home Safe Teaching System say they have

not seen or used better teaching tools that actively

engage children and create such an impactful

atmosphere for learning. Read Testimonials
