The Delaware Children's Fire Safety Foundation is a non-profit organization formed to conduct, support, and sponsor
educational activities intended to eliminate fire related
deaths and injuries among the children of Delaware.
The
Foundation believes that Delaware children must be taught the skills
necessary to protect themselves and others from the hazards of fire.
Fire safety education saves lives. Through the Foundation's
educational activities extraordinary things happen, children save
their own lives and the life of another during a fire.
The year 2000 marks the date that the children entering pre-school
in school year 1994-1995 will graduate from the third grade. It is
our goal that by the year 2000, all school age children in the state
of Delaware, pre-school through grade three, will benefit from
formalized fire safety education.
Implemented in 1973, The National Fire Protection Association's
"Learn Not to Burn" educational series provides innovative
learning tools to teach important fire and burn prevention
behaviors. These behaviors are taught through simple songs, games
and play activities. Behaviors such as, Stop, Drop and Roll, Cool a
Burn, Crawl Low Under Smoke and others are taught in a fun way,
without the use of scare tactics. We have employed some of these
behaviors into the interactive Safe
T. Bear web site.
Teachers can help by contacting the foundation to get the necessary
resources to create a fun filled, safety learning experience in your
classroom.
Interactive behavior sponsorships are available for companies that
wish to have an online presence on the Safe T. Bear Web site. Your
company name can be associated with a specific behavior, and not
only help educate a child, but associate your name with a company
that cares about fire safety, to an adult who is using the site to
help educate that child.
