Match Safety
In coordination with the Missoula County Fire Protection Association (MCFPA), MFD oversees and schedules a Match Safety presentation for every first grade class in Missoula County, which takes place annually in April. Match Safety focuses on not using matches or lighters as toys and discusses Smokey Bear’s rules for match safety.
Firefighter Frank’s Puppet Show
Like Match Safety, MFD works in conjunction with the Missoula County Fire Protection Association (MCFPA) to coordinate a Puppet Show presentation for every Kindergarten class in Missoula County. This show takes place annually in October. Puppet shows focus on basic fire safety like practicing fire drills, staying low and crawling out in smoke, and stop drop and roll.
Here are some excellent Fire fun resources for your junior firefighter:
