Keeping our neighborhoods safe is a top priority of the City of Seattle and public safety is the paramount duty of the Seattle Fire Department.  The Fire Prevention Division is dedicated to ensuring every city resident is safe at home, at work and at school.

Under the oversight of the Public Education Division, the Seattle Fire Department's School Age Program strives to provide effective fire safety education and positive community role models for Seattle's school age children.

Program activities take three main formats:

1. Providing integrated, quality teaching resources and opportunities to help young people learn the skills to stay safe as they grow.
    
2. Conducting an effective arson prevention and firesetting intervention program in the spirit of the City's Youth Violence Prevention Initiative.
    
3. Providing firefighters as positive community role models through support of fire and life safety education initiatives and attendance at school events.
