California Fire Prevention teams are teaching 4th and 5th grade students about fire safety as part of the 2019/2020 “MySafe:California” outreach program. Students, such as this group in Lake County, CA are taught about the risks of fire in the home, how to inspect their homes for working smoke alarms, how to safety escape a house fire, where to meet, and how to communicate with a 911 call taker.
