🚒🔥 BIG NEWS! 🔥🚒

We’re excited to share that the Fostoria Fire Department officially picked up our NEW Fire Safety House today!

This inflatable house is an interactive way for us to teach fire safety to kids (and adults!) in our community. From practicing safe exits to learning about smoke alarms, this hands-on experience will help make fire prevention education more fun and memorable than ever.

You’ll be seeing us bring this out to local events and community programs soon—so keep an eye out! 👀

We can’t wait to use it to help keep our community safe!
