 On March 4, 2021, the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) hosted a virtual training session called “Virtual Fire Safety: Making Your Public Education Programs Virtual.”

Three hundred and seventy-two public fire safety educators attended. There were attendees from:

  • American states, including Rhode Island, Washington D.C., Virginia, Texas, Oregon, and Alaska, and
  • one individual from Germany.

A special thank you to Margo Tennant and Michelle John from Brampton Fire and Emergency Services, and Alex Freeman from Markham Fire and Emergency Services for sharing their experiences, insights, expertise, and knowledge about their virtual programs during the session. Also, a big thank you to everyone who attended.
