Background and Brief Description
This project will involve conducting a
statewide survey of Pennsylvania fire
departments to identify current fire and
life safety education programs,
resources, and training needs. Survey
findings will be used to develop an
inventory of programs and resources,
and to inform Pennsylvania’s fire and
life safety educators during future
training programs. In the United States
each year, there are approximately
400,000 residential fires, with 14,000
non-fatal and 3,000 fatal civilian
injuries. The National Center of Injury
