FIREFIGHTER DAN FIRE SAFETY CAMP
Posters are up and email blasts have been sent out. Now we just have to wait to see if the summer camp fills up. The Firefighter Dan Fire Safety Camp committee has been meeting and planning all the fun activities we will be doing to teach fire safety to kids 4-7 years old.
Above, you can see the new postcard we intend to print. This is one of the many items we will be giving away to the kids at our safety camp.
The goal of our Fire Safety Camp is teach children to recognize, reduce, and escape hazards using interactive animations, hands-on activities, crafts, games and more!
Firefighter Dan Fire Safety Camp is July 30-August 3, 9am-12 at the Old Franklin School, 491 Middlesex Ave, Metuchen.
Also, we are happy to announce that First Alert is now a sponsor for Firefighter Dan Fire Safety Camp. They are donating smoke alarms to use to teach on our Day 2 curriculum. Thank you for your support and generous donation.

DAILY ILLUSTRATED SAFETY TIP WORKSHEETS
Here is a ‘Funsheet’ to go with our Safety Tip for the little ones out there to do in their spare time. When cooking, turn pot handles inward. Never leave a pot handle within reach of children. (click to enlarge.)

ABOUT FIREFIRE DAN™
Firefighter Dan™ features a safety curriculum that helps kids 2-6 recognize, reduce and escape hazards while helping to develop numeracy, literacy, art, science, history, reasoning and citizenship. By utilizing all types of media: photographs, video, illustration, animation and an interactive format that creates viewer participation, Firefighter Dan™ will engage children to be confident, active, and helpful members of the community.
Firefighter Dan™ will be featuring Safety Tips and other content here on Firelife.com as well as on FirefighterDan.com. Each of our Safety Tips will be a short animation between 60 and 90 seconds. We believe by keeping the content in short bytesize chunks of information, a child will be able to better digest the information. In addition, we will be sharing ‘behind-the-scenes’ to The Firefighter Dan™ Show as we move forward in production.
