Firefighters don’t just respond to emergencies — they help prevent them. Public education is a core part of CAL FIRE’s fire prevention mission. By connecting directly with students, we’re building awareness early and reinforcing habits that keep families safer. We provide age-appropriate lessons on: 📞 When to call 911 and what to say 🚒 What firefighters do and who responds to emergencies 👨What turnout gear looks like so children aren’t afraid 🧯 Basic fire safety tips for home and school These visits help children understand emergencies, build confidence, and reinforce simple safety habits that can last a lifetime. Recently, crews from CAL FIRE Santa Clara Unit and Morgan Hill Fire Department visited ABC Learning Montessori in Morgan Hill to spend time with students and answer their questions. #FireSafety #PublicEducation #CommunityRiskReduction #CALFIRE
