The Life Safety Committee of the Ontario Fire Company was formed following a firefighter’s attendance at a Public Education in Fire Prevention Conference at the New York State Fire Training Academy, Montour Falls, NY in 1986.


During his attendance the firefighter learned educational techniques and programs that could be used to develop a life safety program in the community.

 

Upon completion of the conference a program was born.  Advancing over the years our current program includes but is not limited to:

  • Puppet Shows (28 puppets used to enhance the delivery of Life Saving messages)
  • Educational Tours
  • Firefighter Equipment Demonstrations
  • Question and Answer Sessions
  • Business and community Health and Wellness Fairs
  • Open Houses

 

Programs are delivered on a regular basis to:

  • Pre-Schools
  • School age children and young adults
  • Boys and Girls Clubs
  • Adults
  • Cognitively Challenged
  • Seniors
  • Special Groups
  • General Population

 

In 2007 with assistance from the Fire Chief, the Board of Fire Commissioners, the Fire Company, and the Fireman’s Auxiliary a motorized fire truck called “Freddie the Fire Truck” was purchased.  Freddie with the help of 1 to 2 firefighters helps get our life saving messages out to the community in a unique and special way that he hopes will be remembered when it is needed the most.

 

The Life Safety Committee delivers messages on fire safety but messages including but not limited to:

  • Stranger Awareness
  • Disaster Preparedness
  • Poison Awareness
  • Bike Safety
  • Vehicle Safety
  • Pedestrian Safety
  • Seatbelt Safety
  • Water Safety

 

With assistance form firefighters, auxiliary, and explorers the life safety program is a success and continues to grow.
