SENIOR SAFETY PROGRAM |
The Colorado Springs Fire Department's Senior Safety
Program is dedicated to improving the safety of senior citizens across Colorado Springs. With over 66,449
senior citizens within the City, it is important to reach as many individuals as we can with our fire and
life safety messages. Please contact Brianna Goodwin today at 385-7376 to schedule one of our many
interactive and informational senior programs!
- Fire and Life Safety Presentations:
Presentations are 45 minutes and include life saving information on fire, candles, cooking, smoke
alarms, 9-1-1, slips trips and falls, and much more! Presentations can be scheduled during daytime and
evening hours, Monday through Friday. Please give us a call today to schedule one of our FREE safety
presentations.
- File of Life: A program designed to provide
vitally important medical history, current medications, resuscitation requests and emergency contact
information to First Responders. It consists of a highly-visible magnetic folder designed for placement
on a refrigerator and comes with a mini-version for a wallet, car, suitcase or other easily accessible
location. Cards can be picked up at the Fire Department Complex, 375 Printers Parkway, or by calling,
719-385-7376. Available to Colorado Springs citizens only.
- Safety Bingo: This interactive and fun game is
played just like the original BINGO but with a safety twist! Learn fire and life safety tips while
having fun and winning prizes. Great for large groups!
- Safety Prize Wheel: This game of chance not
only guarantees to have a winner every time but also makes learning fast and fun. Include the safety
wheel at fairs, meetings, busy lobbies or any other big event where seniors want to have fun and win!
- Fire and Evacuation Drill Observation, Emergency
Planning, and Guidebooks for Senior Facilities: The Community Education Section of the Colorado
Springs Fire Department is available to assist you and your facility in building a complete Emergency
Operations Plan. If you have any questions or need any additional assistance such as a facility
walk-through, emergency plan review, or observation of your evacuation drill, please call 719-385-7376
at your earliest convenience. Each of these services is available to you and your facility at no cost.
