Educational resources
Fire and Rescue NSW encourages a local partnership among firefighters, teachers, students, parents and community groups to work to actively reduce the incidence and impact of fire and related traumas across NSW.
School programs
Children have limited capacity to understand the risks and consequences of fire, and to react promptly and rationally to fire. This lack of knowledge and awareness puts children at risk of misusing fire or being harmed by fire.
Fire safety education for children is the first line of defence against misuse of fire and fire fatalities and injuries. Prevention through education is the single most modifiable strategy that fire services can implement to reduce the risk of fire to children.
