Fire Safety Unit Study and Lesson Plans

October is International Fire Safety and Awarness Month! It all started on October 9, 1911, when Fire Prevention Day was inaugurated. The date of October 9 was chosen because it marks the anniversary of the "Great Chicago Fire of 1871" -- the disaster that killed 250 people and destroyed 17,430 buildings at a cost of $168 million, and the fire that started people thinking in terms of fire prevention rather than only fire fighting. Clickable links have been left within the content of the workbook to enable the educator to download additional materials, which have not been incorporated into this book, but which form an integral part of the lesson plans. This book is suitable for very young learners to around Grade 5, but can be adapted to older students if required.
