What We Have Learned

Conditions are Critical Prior to

Arrival of Fire Department

Little or no opportunity to performeffective life saving rescue

Fire suppression personnel at a higher

risk of injury and/or death


In most cases, life safety is too critical

to rely on response time

Consider the Differences

Would a scout group have different

needs than students in a classroom?

Would seniors living in their own homeneed a different program than the ones

living in assisted living?

Would a family from another culture

understand the safety messages we

grew up with?
