Schools

Recognising the importance of fire safety education from an early age, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service delivers a schools education programme to Year 2 and Year 6 students across the county.

The Programme

We have an ambitious programme which targets all Year 2 and Year 6 school children across Derby City and Derbyshire County, to educate them about the importance of fire safety in the home and how to avoid accidental fires.

During the COVID restrictions we were unable to provide the schools education face to face and we therefore put together two interactive films for Year 2s and Year 6s that cover the topics our Community Safety Officers would normally deliver. These remain available below.
