Fire & Life Safety Training
The Fire Safety House is a classroom on wheels that can help teach children, parents, and seniors what to do when fire strikes in their home. The fire safety house is a learning tool that allows participants to practice Exit Drills in a simulated fire situation. With the use of real smoke detectors and artificial smoke, participants will learn proper techniques of staying low, performing door checks, and having a single meeting place once they exit the house. For information on the Fire Safety House call the Minooka Fire Protection District at 467-5637.
Fire Extinguisher Training is available through the Minooka Fire Protection District. The training consists of classroom and hands-on training. During the classroom portion the student will learn about the classes of fire, extinguishing agents, types of extinguishers, and the proper operation of extinguishers. After the classroom portion is complete the student will operate an extinguisher to extinguish a real fire. The cost of this class is $30.00 per student.
