Four Seasons of Safety

Each season of the year has unique fire and electrical safety dangers that are related to common seasonal activities. The 4 Seasons of Safety program includes tips, lessons and activities that help students learn about basic fire and electricity concepts while also providing critical safety information that helps them learn to identify and prevent the fire and electrical safety hazards. All included activities can be conducted without the need for additional resources or supplies and with little to no advance preparation required.

The program also includes valuable family involvement opportunities. Take-home resources empower students to share the safety information they have learned with their families.
