| What is YES!? This program
teaches youths of all ages about the basics of fire and home safety,
as well as more advanced training in safety and emergency concepts
for older, more experienced youths.
What’s taught?
• For young children: fire safety education including “stop,
drop & roll”, lighters & matches, using 911, touring
the fire station
• For older children: developing a home escape plan, touring
the fire station, identifying hazards in the home, handling emergencies,
interviews with firefighters and other emergency response personnel,
Heimlich maneuver
Why use this program? Most non-vehicular accidents and injuries
occur in and around the home, and most can be prevented. The effects
of accidents that can’t be prevented can be mitigated through
the understanding and calm application of basic safety procedures.
This program teaches these preventative measures, safety procedures,
and instills confidence that will help youths deal with emergencies.
Who would benefit from this program? Subjects and concepts are
tailored to the audience based on their age, experience and interests.
