Fire Safety Education with Beeping Ben
Fire Safety is continually being taught by firefighters; but even then, an average of seven people die in U.S. home fires each day. Half of home fire deaths are between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am – times that most people would think of as safe home times. Cooking equipment is the leading cause of home structure fires and home fire injuries.
Smoke alarms can help save lives, but only if they are properly installed and maintained. They are a vitally important safety precaution that can help keep your family safe in case of a home fire.
Home fires can start and grow quickly. So Fire Safety Education can be the difference between keeping your family safe and tragic injuries.
This book is a story about a boy whose smoke alarm birthday gift saved his family’s lives in an accidental home fire. The book has been used for over 35-years in fire safety education classes and demonstrations.
If you have young children in your home, a great fire safety book can be a wonderful educational tool to teach your kids about the importance of fire safety.
“I taught fire safety in Nashville schools for many years, and as I left a school after teaching, I noticed that much of the fire safety literature was already in the trash can. So I decided to write a hardcover book, suitable for libraries and classrooms. Not long after, I read about a family that bought a smoke alarm for Christmas that beeped and saved their lives. The idea for my book was born.” ~ Jim Laster, Author and Retired Firefighter
