The Public Education section is responsible for developing and distributing public education programs and information to various target audiences. One successful outreach is the section's participation in the Remembering When™ program developed by the NFPA and the CDC. This program incorporates a fire and fall prevention strategy for older adults to allow them to stay safely in their own homes. This section also produces a few publications on a regular basis. Safety Seconds is a short publication with public education tips for the fire service to enhance their local programs. Safety Educator is a publication that is designed for teachers to provide them with tips and tools to incorporate fire and life safety ideas into their regular school curriculum.
The State Fire Marshal’s Award of Excellence in Fire & Life Safety program recognizes New Hampshire students in grades prekindergarten through high school that do an outstanding act in the area of Fire and Life Safety that benefits the lives and wellbeing of those around them. We want to recognize these hometown heroes!
The Department of Safety - Division of Fire Safety and the New Hampshire Fire Prevention Society believe that Fire Prevention and Life Safety should be a part of daily life throughout the year in every New Hampshire household. 3rd grade students are challenged to design a poster representing an important fire prevention & life safety message. This annual poster contest is open to ALL third grade students in the state of New Hampshire.
