The months of August through December have been a busy time for Fire Fighters in Safety Education (FISE). Schools in San Francisco, Napa, and Atascadero have all done FISE presentations for the first half of the school year. Over 10,600 kids have been taught fire and burn safety by fire fighters and volunteers.

FISE (Fire fighters in Safety Education) is an AARBF program that visits school children in preschool to fifth grade and provides thirty minute presentations. Fire fighters and other volunteers teach the children burn prevention and what to do in case of a fire. Children are also given activity books and other materials to take home.

Topics covered during a FISE presentation include:
Stop Drop and Roll
Stay Low and Go
Cool-A-Burn
How to Dial 911
Toys vs. Tools
Home Escape Plans
Hug a Firefighter

Lots of students and teachers have already told AARBF that they firefighters did an awesome job and that they learned so much! A big thanks to all the firefighters and volunteers who made the 2008 Fall FISE a big success!

If you are interested in our FISE program contact your nearest AARBF office to learn more!

    Your site is fabulous as is the work that you do. Right now there are 20 EMT Intermediate students outside my office watching an old episode of “Emergency!” as part of their indoctrination/training. Do I remember that the actors from that show played donkey basketball against SoCal firefighters to generate funds for the Foundation? Man, that was more than 30 years ago. Glad I looked y’all up. Gratefully, thanks again.
