Hometown Sound Off: Reaching Communities Served by Volunteer Fire Departments with Free Resources

Sound Off with the Home Fire Safety Patrol is a proven fire safety education and risk reduction program for young children and their families. Funded through a series of Fire Prevention & Safety Grants since 2014, Sound Off combines fun, video-based classroom lessons for students in grades 2 and 3, caregiver and family activities, free smoke alarm installation, and fire drill practice. The program now has state-level teams established in 34 states and nearly 300 active local teams, with documented results including a nearly 50% increase in student knowledge, 17 lives saved to date, and almost 80,000 smoke alarms installed. Join this NVFC webinar to learn how your department can bring Sound Off to your community, including how the program uses Community Risk Reduction (CRR) best practices to achieve measurable results, an overview of its free, professionally designed resources for reaching students and families, and ideas for delivering Sound Off through volunteer fire departments, with or without staff available to visit classrooms during the day.
