FRV: Number of sessions of FireEd and risk reduction programs delivered to the community
FRV delivered 207 FireEd and risk reduction programs this quarter, including Senior’s Fire Safety, FireCAP and Fit2Drive programs. This is a 48 per cent increase compared to the previous quarter’s result (Figure 2 below).
FRV’s FireEd program delivers home fire safety education to primary school children, with the goal of promoting fire risk reduction practices for the future. The program is designed to support long-term reductions in house fires, property damage, and loss of life.
