Resources for teachers
There are many useful resources available online to help teachers make pupils aware of the dangers of fire and prepare lesson plans accordingly. In association with the Fire Kills website, some of these covered in this section.
Fire is one of the leading causes of accidental injury and death
amongst children. On average 50 children under the age of 11 are
killed in fires in the UK every year and around 1,800 are injured.
The fire safety education programme has been developed by the
National Community Fire Safety Centre (part of the Office of the
Deputy Prime Minister) to increase children's and young people's
awareness of the risks from fire and to help develop the skills
they need to be safer adults.
This programme has been designed in collaboration with professional
educators and the Fire and Rescue Service to help teach fire
safety. In order to target learning, specific Fire Safety Learning
Objectives have been identified within the following key areas for
pupils aged between 4-11 years:
• Fire safety: prevention, detection and escape
• Hoax calls
• Fire setting and arson
The material provided in this section of the site is mainly
designed to be delivered by teachers. Also included are lessons
that are suitable for delivery by either a teacher or a Community
Fire Safety (CFS) Officer - you should discuss these lessons and
agree with your local CFS Officer which of you is best suited to
deliver these. If you have not already been contacted by your local
Fire and Rescue Service, you can enquire at Fire and Rescue HQ to
see if they are operating a programme in your area.
