The Student SAFE program teaches students to recognize and manage the dangers of fire and other safety hazards they may experience. Each year, the East Bridgewater Fire Department collaborates with the schools in East Bridgewater to deliver fire safety education to students. Classroom visits occur throughout the school year to review age appropriate lessons with the students and hand out fire safety materials.
This program is not exclusive to schools as the East Bridgewater Fire Department works with boy scouts, girl scouts, youth sports, and other community organizations/events to relay different fire & life safety initiatives.
Topics include:
- Our friend the firefighter
- Stop, Drop, & Roll
- Understanding 911
- The fire triangle
- Firefighter tools/equipment
- Understanding smoke detectors
- Get out and stay out
- Crawling low under smoke
The Student SAFE program is funded by an annually awarded competitive grant offered by the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services.
