Fire Safety for Families

October is Fire Safety Month, but fire prevention education is important all year long. This year, due to COVID, Firefighter Dave wasn’t able to visit your second grader’s classroom for his usual presentation about fire safety. Instead, GRPS’ Parent University partnered with the Grand Rapids Fire Department to bring Firefighter Dave’s presentation to your family virtually. Watch this video with your family to learn more about fire safety in your home!

In addition, the Grand Rapids Fire Department included fun, interactive content that your child will not only enjoy, but will also help them learn vital tips on how to stay safe from fire.
