 Fire Officers and
the Kids Taskforce
The missdorothy.com
and Watch Over Me programmes are designed to be delivered by the teacher and supported by the local fire service, whose representatives can take part in the appropriate safety lessons whenever possible. This not only adds interest for the young people, it also helps to build valuable community relationships at an early age and makes children aware that the fire service is there to help them and keep them safe.
The messages in the fire safety lessons have been thoroughly researched with the help of fire services across the UK. The lessons incorporate all the safety issues relevant to school children as detailed below:
» Arson reduction
» Road safety
» Seconds save lives
» Hoax calls
» Attacks on Firefighters
» Stealing equipment
» Anti-social behaviour
» Ring 999
» Recognising signs of smoke and fire
» Checking smoke alarms
» Not playing with matches
» Fireworks
» Sirens
The Chief Fire Officers' Association is committed to reach every child in the UK with the learning programmes by 2010.
