Home Fire Escape Plan
Families can work together to create a Home Fire Escape Plan (see our brochure), so that everybody knows how to escape safely in the event of a house fire.
More information is also available via our Home Fire Escape Plan Fact Sheet.
J-FLIP
Our free, confidential Juvenile Firelighters Intervention Program (J-FLIP) helps families address the issue of children playing with fire.
