Teaching Fire Safety for Free

Inspiring Kids With Life Saving Resources

We’ve partnered with Discovery Education, a global leader in edtech, to get our Junior Fire Marshal Training Academy to even more students, educators and families across the country. Our curriculum is offered through a free online program designed to support those helping kids learn about fire safety — from parents to teachers to community leaders. Are you looking to help equip the next generation of fire safety leaders?
“We realize the need for fire safety education and the critical importance of partnering with The Hartford on the Junior Fire Marshal program. By tapping into children’s natural curiosity when it comes to fire, we can help build a fire-safe culture in children which will carry through to their families and communities.”
