What is the Fire Safety House and what happens in it?
Although we tell the children what to do and even have fire drills to practice what to do in the event of a fire, humans are wired for fight or flight. We want to provide conditions similar to an actual fire so they are more likely to react in a safe way in a real emergency situation. The Smoke House experience helps children learn by doing and to get under the smoke and get out of the house.
