Children's Fire Literacy

This LibGuide is for firefighters and adults who want to introduce topics of fire safety, fire history, firefighting as career, and fires in fiction to children. It contains books, discussion questions, and tips for presenting firefighters.

Historic Fires and Firefighting

Learning about historic fires and firefighters of the past can give kids insight into how firefighting has changed over the years and how society has reacted to fires and tragedies, as well as getting them to think about what we can learn from disasters of the past and how we have changed since they took place.
