Fire Safety & Public Education
Public education and fire safety are the responsibility of everyone in the community. At the Office of the Fire Commissioner, we encourage the education of individuals, especially children, on the importance of fire prevention and fire safety in our homes and workplaces. We have compiled a list of very beneficial web sites that provide extensive information for adults and children alike. Please take the time to browse through and learn a thing or two!
- Holiday Safety
- Learn Not to Burn Program®
The Learn not to Burn Program takes into account what children need to know about fire and burn prevention and it teaches them in a positive, non-threatening way.
For more than 20 years, Learn Not to Burn® (LNTB) has been the theme and focus of NFPA's comprehensive public fire safety education initiatives. Based on NFPA's belief that fire safety information should be presented in a positive, non-threatening manner, LNTB teaches people of all ages how to make responsible choices regarding health and safety.
- Fire Prevention Canada
The Fire Prevention Canada website provides numerous fact sheets containing valuable fire/safety educational material. Please take advantage of this free material to educate yourself, your family and others whom you think could benefit.
- NFPA Public Education
NFPA teaches people of all ages how to make responsible choices regarding health and safety. One of our most important commitments is to give people the knowledge and skills they need to lead safer lives.
