Our mission is injury
prevention through education, research, training, global
educational programs and organizational partnerships.
We
provide research-based training and educational materials on fire safety and injury prevention
to fire service, schools, daycare centers and community
agencies.
Fireproof Children develops and delivers customized safety training and materials that are sustainable and target high-risk populations. Current projects include:
Fireproof Children developed the Youth Fire Prevention workshops for the National Association of State Fire Marshals Fire Research and Education Foundation, funded through a FEMA grant. Since January 2010, we’ve delivered these workshops in the ten FEMA regions. Read the first in a series of articles sharing lessons learned.
Fireproof Children also shared lessons learned from training Juvenile Firesetting Prevention coalitions nationwide in the January 2010 issue of Fire Engineering. Read the article.
Fireproof Children is a participating organization in Protect the Ones You Love: Child Injuries Are Preventable," a CDC initiative to raise parents' awareness about the leading causes of child injury in the United States and how they can be prevented.
