Center Fire Department's In-House Fire Prevention Programs:

Center Fire Department maintains a smokehouse trailer that makes its way to elementary schools throughout the county teaching children the skills that they need in order to safely get out of their homes in the event of a fire.

Basic concepts taught through the smokehouse are as follows:

Fireplace Safety

Use of the E-911 System

Importance of a meeting place outside of the home in the event of a cause for evacuation

Kitchen safety

Ensuring a safe exit path in the event of a fire to include a simulated exit from a smoke-filled bedroom

Importance of fire extinguishers and smoke detectors

The following videos, while not created by this fire department, contain some good information on various fire safety topics.  The first video gives basic information pertaining to smoke detectors.  The next depicts fire conditions in the home.  The third describes portable fire extinguishers.  The last video shows how to escape from your home under various scenarios and loosely mirrors the information that we provide at our fire safety house.
