 Fire Safety Programs

 

 Child and Youth Safety

Wainfleet Fire & Emergency Services teaches people of all ages about health and safety. We provide individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to live a safer life.

TAPP-C

Arson prevention program for children aged 2–17 years

If your child or teenager is involved in fire-play or fire setting, you are not alone. Many children and teenagers have a fascination with fire. It's important to understand the while curiosity about fire is natural, fire-play can be dangerous. Unfortunately many children die or are injured in fires they start themselves.

TAPP-C is free of charge and available to children aged 2–17 years. The TAPP-C program brings together fire service and counselling professionals to help families deal with children and teens involved in fire-play. Fire Department personnel educate children and their families about fire fire-safety practices. Counselling professionals assess the risk of continued fire involvement and help children and families deal with issues that may contribute to fire setting.

Learn Not To Burn

Learn Not to Burn (LNTB) has served as the pillar of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) education programs for more than 40 years. LNTB programs reach children using proven education strategies that incorporate positive, practical fire safety messaging. LNTB focuses on teaching 22 key fire safety behaviours to children from Kindergarten to Grade 8 through the core curriculum in their classrooms.

A LNTB preschool program is designed to teach eight teach eight basic fire- and burn-prevention behaviours to children in preschool and daycare centres (age 3–5 years), using songs, games and activities. The lessons are short, simple and encourage active participation. The program includes a 60-page teacher's guide that features detailed lesson plans, fire safety background information, letters to parents and reproducible colouring sheets.
