RSF Fire District: Community Education

 

Fire Prevention Week

Our Community Education Mission:

To reinforce responsible public attitudes and behavior among community members toward:

  • Wildland/urban interface challenges
  • Fire safe habits, and
  • Overall injury prevention.

 

Community Programs

The Rancho Santa Fe FIre Protection District's community education programs are offered free-of-charge for schools, homeowners associations and property owners throughout the fire district's boundary.

Firefighter and friendsPrograms for Children
Firefighters can visit students in preschool through fourth grade presenting age-appropriate fire and burn prevention information and activities. Each grade level learns two to three fire safety lessons. Lessons rely heavily on student participation and include interactive props.

CERT trainingPrograms for Adults
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) – CERT is an all-hazard, all-risk training program designed to teach you how to protect yourself, your family, your neighbors and community during a disaster situation. Class series are held several times a year.

In addition to CERT, fire and injury prevention presentations are also available to adults within the community. Fire District personnel will speak about public safety issues at homeowners' association meetings, neighborhood meetings, or other venues. Presentations typically include a PowerPoint slide show followed by an ample question and answer session.
