Turning Fireground Knowledge into Community Safety: Research-Based Public Education for Volunteers

Fire departments often rely on modern fire dynamics research to guide training and operations, yet this same information is often underused in community fire safety education. This webinar hosted by the National Volunteer Fire Council will help volunteers translate research-based fireground knowledge into clear, actionable public safety messages. Participants will learn how to update outdated outreach, explain modern fire behavior in simple terms, and teach residents practical steps that reduce risk, slow fire growth, and support firefighter safety. Ideal for firefighters, officers, instructors, and anyone involved in public education.
