FIRE SAFETY TRAILER
The Fire Safety Trailer is a mobile, travel trailer that is a scaled down to a kid sized, two-story house. The trailer interior is designed with a walk through a kitchen, living room and bedroom. As the students walk through, they are instructed to spot fire hazards and will practice simple methods of eliminating potentially dangerous situations. They will have the experience of feeling an actual ‘hot door’, a live fire demonstration and home sprinkler system activation. At the conclusion of the tour, the students will be able to exit the ‘house’ by escape ladder as the trailer fills with non-toxic smoke making their experience both educational and fun!
