Learn Not to Burn®TM

Through its partnerships, the Council helps support the continued implementation of the highly successful Learn Not to Burn® (LNTB®) fire safety education program that is available to elementary school children worldwide. 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 the past six years, Ontario has documented life saves attributed to LNTBŪ in Prescott, Chatham, Sudbury, Owen Sound, Ajax, Smiths Falls and Brockville, among others.

LNTB® focuses on teaching 22 key fire safety behaviours to children from kindergarten to grade 8 through the core curriculum in their classrooms. Through a partnership with Fire Prevention Canada, the NFPA and the Canadian Tire Child Protection Foundation, almost 4,000 Level 1 curricula have been delivered to schools across Ontario.

A LNTB preschool program is designed to teach eight simple but important life saving behaviours to children in preschool and day-care centres. To date, more than 1,200 preschool kits have been distributed throughout Ontario.
