The fire department has a fire safety trailer that is used to give residents a “hands-on” learning experience.

As an educational vehicle, the safety trailer has the following:

• full kitchen including a stove and microwave oven to discuss appliance safety.
• “heated” bedroom doors to have children check doors before opening them in the event of a fire.
• theater smoke is used to have children “stay low and go” from a room that might have smoke.
• for older students the trailer can also simulate a tornado to talk about severe weather safety.

The fire safety trailer is available for Mount Prospect educational community events. Please contact the Fire Prevention Bureau at (847) 818-5253 for more details.
