National Association of State Fire Marshals Fire Research & Education Foundation and Fireproof Children/Prevention First Present…Youth Fire Prevention Program
Michigan Fire Inspector Society has partnered with NASFM to host a one day train the trainer program. Registration is limited for this one Day program on March 17, 2010.
The Youth Fire Prevention Program is developed and presented by Fireproof Children for the National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) Fire Research & Education Foundation, funded by a FEMA Fire Prevention and Safety Grant.
Fireproof Children, a premier fire safety training and education organization, has previously worked with NASFM in the development and delivery of coalition building and skills building training programs throughout the country. The Youth Fire Prevention program builds on what we learned from these programs. Train the trainer workshops will be delivered in the 10 FEMA regions.
This one-day training is designed to:
- Mobilize community resources and build capacity to prevent and reduce youth firesetting and child fire play;
- Provide best practices for long-term sustainability of youth fire prevention at the local, regional and state levels;
- Address the most current issues, such as the dangers of toy-like lighters;
- Be highly interactive, with small and large group discussion of needs, success stories, and problem solving.
Participants will receive:
- Advanced knowledge, skills and guidance to organize community resources for more effective youth fire prevention, education, advocacy and intervention campaigns.
- Training and materials they can bring to their local networks to create a comprehensive, coordinated community response.
- Juvenile Firesetting: A Community Guide to Prevention and Intervention in CD form, providing a comprehensive overview of children and fire. This handbook includes additional topics beyond the scope of this workshop, such as effective educational interventions, communication skills and step-by-step interviewing guide, and sample classroom lesson plans.
