This week, off-duty members of Powell River Fire Rescue are volunteering their time to welcome Grade 3 students from across the qathet School District to the Fire Safety House. Through hands-on learning and realistic fire safety scenarios, students practice recognizing hazards, responding to smoke alarms, crawling under smoke, and safely escaping a home during a fire. Built by local firefighters with support from our community, the Fire Safety House has helped educate generations of children, giving them the confidence and knowledge to stay safe in an emergency. We are proud to continue this important tradition and invest in the safety of our communityβs youngest residents.
