Fire Safety House

The Fire Safety House is a 39-foot mobile travel trailer that is a functional one story house, scaled down to a child's level. We take this mobile classroom to local area schools and give tours to children to teach them fire safety. Elementary school students will walk through a kitchen, living room and bedroom attempting to locate common fire hazards. The children can also practice simple methods of eliminating potentially dangerous situations. In addition, they will feel a heated door that simulates a fire on the other side, and then locate alternate emergency escape routes. At the conclusion of the tour, the house will fill with a non-toxic smoke, and the students exit via an escape ladder. All of the activities are done under the supervisory guidance of the Chattanooga Fire Department.  If you're interested in having the Fire Safety House visit your school or venue, please download the 'Fire Safety House Teacher's Packet' (Adobe® PDF Format). It has all the info you need to set up and run a successful fire safety presentation, then fill in a request form  (Adobe® PDF Format) and mail it to us or fax it to (423) 643-5611.
