PRESCHOOL COMMUNITY HELPERS

Dear Early Learning Center Educators,
We want to start off by saying, “Thank you!” for your interest in partnering to instill fire and life safety messages at this young age. Prevention is key, and we are excited to offer our Community Helpers program to meet your needs and bring a fun experience to your site location. We have many requests throughout the year for a fire engine and crew to visit preschool groups within our district to teach about fire and life safety, what firefighters do, and show the kids an engine. In order to maximize the impact of this educational experience, we are providing educators with the first step of this program, which is the teaching component.
We have created a special Preschool Community Helpers Program to accommodate the number of requests and make this learning opportunity fit the flexibility needs of preschools. This program includes a Community Helpers video (linked here) and a letter home to families (attached below). The main points of this program include helping children identify firefighters as safe community helpers, what they look like in their bunker gear, and a movement component that teaches crawling low under the smoke to escape in the event of a fire emergency safely.After all of your classroom(s) have watched the video, we invite you to then request the follow-up Engine Visit using our Event Request Form (at least 30 days in advance). This engine visit is a great opportunity to connect the Community Helpers lesson to firefighters, equipment, and fire engines! The crew will be in service during their time on your campus, so the engine must park somewhere they can leave quickly in case of an emergency call. While the crew will try their best to return if the visit is cut short, we cannot guarantee that the engine can stay for a set amount of time, nor can we guarantee that they will return after the emergency call.
Positive outcomes in safety awareness within our community are not possible without the help of educators like you who share critical messaging, such as Community Helpers. We cannot emphasize enough how thankful we are for all you do and your partnership in fire and life safety!
Sincerely,
Central Pierce Fire & Rescue
