Fire and Life Safety Program Planning inspires and encourages communities to develop fire and life safety programs that support safer, more resilient communities. This program guides participants to gain a better understanding of their community risks and gather resources and ideas or find applicable training programs to address the identified risks.

Your community does not need to have a fire department in order to run a successful Fire and Life Safety Program. Planning for fire and life safety is a community effort and can be championed by schoolteachers, community leaders, community members, and first responders.

Community Fire and Life Safety Educator teaches instructional techniques and explores delivery methods. This interactive program looks at fire and life safety programs for all age groups in the community and how to most effectively convey messaging to the audience. Using real life examples and group discussion, participants will explore identifying risks, understanding human behaviour.

Through practical exercises students will become confident in their ability to gather and analyze information to measure the effectiveness of their programs. Participants will practice their teaching skills by developing and presenting a lesson.
