Fire Safety for Texans

Fire Safety for Texans is a series of fire and burn prevention curriculum guides (K-12) developed by the State Fire Marshal´s Office (SFMO). The SFMO believes the key to reducing fires and fire deaths is through a comprehensive, age-appropriate approach to fire safety education. After extensive research and testing, with the help of teachers from across the state, this series is made available to those who teach fire safety. Each guide contains three sections:

• Lesson Plans -- which includes all steps in the lesson cycle;
  
• Teacher Materials -- which includes all teaching aids and test; and
  
• Student Materials-Duplicating Masters -- which includes master copies of materials to be used by students.

Each grade-level program has been coordinated with essential elements and with the unique specific fire safety needs of that age group.

The State Fire Marshal's Office has made the entire series of fire and burn prevention curriculum guides available online, and free of charge. They are available in two formats: Portable Document Format (PDF) and Microsoft Word 97.
