The Fire Safety Rocks live-streamed fire safety program helps children learn basic fire safety knowledge and skills with the goals of saving lives, limiting injuries, and reducing fire losses.
Firefighter Dayna and Molly the Fire Safety Dog share fun, yet educationally sound, ways to stay safe, live on the web.

Reading with Molly
program helps children learn basic fire safety knowledge and skills with the
goals of saving lives, limiting injuries, and reducing fire losses. Firefighter
Dayna and her team of Fire Safety Dogs share fun, yet educationally sound, ways
to stay safe.
The educationally sound 30-minute program includes the
reading of Hilton’s national award-winning, children’s fire safety book,
Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog. In
addition, the program includes singing fire safety songs with the children, Molly demonstrating how to "crawl low under smoke" and
administering the Jr. Firefighter Oath by Hilton and Molly the Fire Safety Dog.
The presentation will be adapted to the age of the audience
so that the appropriate fire safety educational messages will be shared. If
multiple classes are grouped together for a presentation, it is suggested that
the students are close in age.
Students will learn four valuable fire safety messages that
will help keep them and their family fire safe including:
- Recognizing the firefighter as a helper and a friend
- Knowing the sound & purpose of a smoke alarm
