The Lake Havasu City Fire Department offers a wide range of fire and life safety classes with the community's safety in mind. The positions that provide these programs are two public education specialists (NFPA Educator II and III). These educators are full-time employees, and with their combined effort, instruct approximately 900 classes each year.
The ages of program participants range from preschool to senior citizens. Classes are conducted in various settings, such as schools, businesses, churches, community events, etc. Below are brief descriptions of a few of the programs that are available:
- Basic First Aid - American Safety & Health Institute approved classes that give a review about what you can do in a medical emergency before professional help arrives. A card of completion is given to participating students. Fee - $5.00 per person.
- CPR/AED - American Safety & Health Institute approved classes for adult and pediatric victims. A card of completion is given to participating students. Fee - $10.00 per person.
- T.Y.K.S. Child Safety - teaching parents/guardians how to be more aware of hazards in the home that could lead to accidents involving children.
- Fire Safety in the Home/Business/Assembly - lessons in fire prevention, fire extinguishers, fire escape plans, disaster preparedness, etc.
- Safety Lessons for Scouts - various programs to meet the requirements of specific badges.
- Fire Safety for Senior Citizens - a program specifically designed for the safety of senior citizens.
- Juvenile Fire setter Program - classes for children who have started fires or have an interest in fire. The children are taught about burn injuries and safe behaviors. We also instruct the parents how to keep their home safe from such activity. (This program is taught one-to-one, not in a group setting.)
