There are five 30 minute lessons for children in Grades 1 to 4.

This is when the key home fire safety messages of the School Fire Education Program are delivered and reinforced.

The messages are the same for both age groups.

To make the lessons age-appropriate and engaging, there are different classroom activities and activity books.

Key messages include:

 

The School Fire Education Program is an initiative of the Tasmania Fire Service, as a strategy towards our vision of a Tasmanian community that is safe from the impact of fire.

The program has been designed to teach children from Prep to Grade 6 about basic home fire safety.

The program is offered to all Tasmanian primary schools, and more than 95% of Tasmanian children participate in the program at least twice during their primary school education.

Lessons and resources are delivered in schools by specially trained firefighters of the Tasmania Fire Service.
