 Educating children is one of the best ways to build fire safe Victoria for generations to come. Not only can children be influenced for life but they'll often go home and influence their families as well. The fire safe kids program has been developed for pre-primary through to grade 6 students. Fire Safe Youth is a new program developed for secondary students from year 7 through to year 10. Today, April Himmelrich from the Basin Fire Brigade is at the local primary school to tell us more about these programs and how you can get involved. Our endorsed and trained CFA volunteers and career firefighters will go along and present a lesson including fire safety messages with an age appropriate fashion. So they'll include lots of fun activities and using the mascots like Captain Koala and all of his friends. The fire safe kids programs are delivered in the school environment in the classroom perhaps alongside the CFA mobile education unit. There are a variety of lessons. Most are based around home fire safety or the bush fire safety and prevention. As a brigade member you could get involved in the program by becoming a trained presenter. You would need to complete a two-day training session and you would need to be available during the school hours. So you could talk to your captain about this for more information or you could get the information from your community education coordinator at your local region.
