This trailer is used as an educational tool to teach kids first hand about fire safety in the home. Features include:
- Living room complete with fire place
- Kitchen with a stove, microwave, sink, pots/pans
- Upstairs bedroom
- Smoke machine
- Closed circuit TV
Children are taught to recognize safety, and potential fire hazards, that may be found around a house. In addition to the obvious, they learn about frayed wiring under a carpet, obstacles on the stairs, arrangement of pots/pans on the stove, electrical hazards. When the smoke detector is activated in the bedroom, they are taught to crawl low and examine the door to see if it is warm to the touch. If it is, they are taught to seek a second means of egress by way of the rear porch and down a ladder. It is a favorite of many children at community events and especially at Fire Prevention Week Open House .
