What to Expect 

Experience firsthand the challenges of escaping a fire within a simulated home environment. 

Participants will enter a specially designed trailer resembling a typical home. As the space fills with simulated smoke, Fire Safety personnel will provide vital safety information. This immersive experience highlights the difficulty of locating safe exits during a fire.

In addition to the simulation, there will be demonstrations on the proper use of fire extinguishers and informative booths offering further safety insights.

For those willing to take on the challenge, entering the simulated smoke trailer and participating in the 'Know 2 Ways Out Challenge' earns a commemorative T-shirt.
