Learning is best accomplished by hands-on experiences. The residents of North Riverside have the opportunity to experience a simulated fire without the heat and toxic smoke produced by a real fire. The Children's Fire Safety House travels to prime locations several times a year to assist in this learning experience. Elementary schools are scheduled and the children and teachers are treated to fun and education at the same time. The two-story trailer provides the setting of a typical home and enables the educator to provide an interactive lecture on fire safety in the home. At the end of the lecture a nontoxic smoke is pumped into the trailer and the participants practice E.D.I.T.H. (Exit Drills In The Home). This learning tool may be visited during North Riverside Day in September.
