Public Education

education
The Hillsborough Bureau of Fire Safety has an extensive public education program to spread the message of fire safety throughout our community. Annually our Fire Marshals educate nearly 5000 children at both public and private schools. The school programs cover the basics like "stop drop and roll" for the younger children to campus and cooking safety for the high school senior class. We also conduct a number of programs for adults as well. Some of these programs include fire safety for senior citizens, conducting fire extinguisher training for local businesses and attending community events. Our department is always trying to find creative new ways to get our message out to the community. We recently started hanging banners with safety messages at our local sports complexes and have hit the big screen with fire prevention tips showing on the screen before the movies start at a local cinema. Social media has also become a large part of our education program, our office is a "Check In" point on Foursquare and operate pages on both Twitter and Facebook. Another part of our fire safety education unit is the fire prevention smoke trailer. This interactive educational tool is used at community events to show fire hazards and teach how to escape a burning home. The trailer is set up like a residential house with a kitchen, living room and bedroom. The unit features heated doors, a working telephone to practice 911 calls, a fire place, working smoke alarms and a smoke machine. If you would like to have us attend your community event or have any questions our about fire safety please contact us (908) 369-4313 ext 178

It’s very unfortunate a tragedy occurred on what is supposed to be a fun time on vacation.
This, however emphasizes how important having detectors are, and not to forget fire alarms. Whether on vacation or in the home.
Our condolences go out to the families affected by this tragedy.
