Canada's statistics of fire-related deaths and burn injuries are among the worst in the industrialized world. On average, approximately 500 Canadians lose their lives to fire annually. A large percentage of these victims are children.

Canada became the first country in which the Learn Not To Burn® program was implemented nationally. The Learn Not To Burn® program teaches fire and burn prevention behaviours to elementary school children.  Based on the National Fire Protection Association's curriculum, it includes songs, stories, puppets, games and other activities to teach fire safety behaviours (e.g., Stop, Drop and Roll, crawl low under smoke) in a way that children can understand and remember. This program has been credited with saving lives throughout North America.

In 2021, the Learn Not to Burn Program reached 1,431 students in 20 schools.

If you home school your children, please use the link below to download teacher manuals.

At Brandon Fire & Emergency Services, this program is coordinated by our Public Education Officer.  For more information, please email fire@brandon.ca
