Fire Safety House

The Fire Safety House is an effective tool in teaching children kitchen safety, exit drills in the home and other home safety tactics, precautions and proper safety procedures in the event of a fire. The Fire Safety House is a mobile travel trailer that has been turned into a scaled down "kid-sized" functional house. Children locate potential fire hazards in a kitchen, living room, and bedroom. They practice simple methods of eliminating potentially dangerous situations. They feel a "hot" door and locate an emergency escape route. Finally, the children exit as the safety house fills with a nontoxic, water-based "smoke."

The SFMO is now scheduling community visits. Please see the Fire Safety House Schedule to determine when the Fire Safety House will be coming to your region of Texas. If you would like to host the Fire Safety House in your community, please send a request to firehouse@tdi.state.tx.us.
