10/10/25 @ 10:00 a.m. - In recognition of Fire Prevention Week, we want to take a moment to highlight one of the County’s most valuable educational tools, the Fire Safety Education Simulator. Acquired in 2024 through a Federal Grant in partnership with the City of Fernandina Beach, this 27-foot trailer brings fire safety lessons to life through hands-on learning.
The simulator is designed to provide an immersive educational experience that engages participants in critical thinking, physical activity, and hazard recognition. Using advanced programming and a state-of-the-art table control system, it can replicate a variety of real-world emergencies . From kitchen fires to severe weather events, each scenario allows participants to safely practice how to respond in high-stress situations.
This interactive tool is used at schools, community events, and public demonstrations to help residents of all ages learn how to prevent fires, react quickly, and stay safe during emergencies. It’s a fun, memorable, and potentially life-saving experience for the whole community.
If you are interested in scheduling a fire safety demonstration, please reach out to Fire Inspector/Investigator Thomas Ford at (904) 530-6600 or via e-mail at [email protected].
