MCFPA works in as many Missoula County schools as possible. Together we can live safe on this fire planet.

MCFPA members are hot on fire-prevention and -preparedness education. Every spring and fall, we introduce first graders and kindergarteners to our Fire Safety messages and they get a visit from Smokey Bear.

We also offer a Smoke Safety Trailer. And a Smokey Bear Balloon. Contact your Fire Chief for help in engaging these free demonstration/fire-education tools.

MATCH SAFETY
Each April, MCFPA firefighters visit local schools with Smokey Bear and/or Sparkey the Fire Dog to teach Fire Safety to first graders. Every year more than a thousand first grade students learn about safety with matches and other fire dangers in the home, thanks to MCFPA and its member firefighters.
