Summer is just around the corner and that means BBQs, campfires, and backyard sparklers. While this is a fun time that should be enjoyed by all, it can also be dangerous. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), nearly 40 percent of all fires caused by children playing with fire outdoors occur during June, July and August. To help keep children safe this summer, play safe! be safe!, presented by Bic and Fireproof Children, is hosting a multimedia fire safety education program at the College of the Holy Cross. In this engaging workshop, play safe! be safe! offers adults a unique chance to better understand the intriguing world of fire from the perspective of children. Specifically geared towards safety educators, teachers, daycare providers, and other community agencies, the workshop uses statistics gathered by the National Fire Protection Agency to give participants a better understanding of how young children understand and react to fire. BIC provides a play safe! be safe! multimedia to help attendees visually understand the dangers associated with children and fire, and to bring a greater awareness of fire prevention methods and safety skills to the local community.
This program will be led by Molly Clifford, the Executive Director of Community Health Strategies. Previously Molly served as Director of Fire Administration for the Rochester Fire Department (RFD), supporting fire prevention programs, code enforcement and community outreach. A graduate of Cornell University, she has also been active in the disabilities community as a Board member of the Regional Center for Independent Living and as the City of Rochester representative on the City-County Council for People with Disabilities. Molly is also on the Board of Directors of Marys Place Outreach, which supports refugee families recently resettled in Rochester.
