How Inflatable Fire Houses Play a Key Role in Fire Safety Education

October is Fire Safety Month, and it is a crucial time for raising awareness and educating communities about fire prevention.  Fire safety should be top of mind for everyone, and what better way to get people engaged than with an Inflatable Fire Education House?  These fun, interactive inflatables give both kids and adults a hands-on way to learn essential fire safety tips while also making a memorable experience. 

Boulder Blimp Co. created the Inflatable Fire Education House to help fire stations, schools, and organizations step up their fire safety education efforts.  They are the perfect tool for making Fire Safety Month events more exciting and impactful. 

Why October is Fire Safety Month

Fire Safety Month goes back to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, a massive fire that destroyed thousands of buildings and claimed hundreds of lives.  To honor those lost and to help prevent future fires, the National Fire Prevention Week was created and eventually expanded into Fire Safety Month – a full month dedicated to spreading fire safety tips and awareness.

During this month, fire departments, schools, and communities hold events to teach things like using a fire extinguisher, making an escape plane, and understanding the dangers of smoke inhalation.  Fire departments  responded to over 1.4 million fires in 2020, according to the National Fire Protection Association, showing just how important these efforts are.

Inflatable Fire Education Houses: Making Fire Safety Fun

One of the most engaging ways to teach fire safety during Fire Safety Month is through an inflatable fire education house.  These structures take fire safety lessons and make them fun and interactive.  Our inflatable fire houses allow people to experience real-life fire scenarios in a safe and controlled environment.  Participants can practice stop-dop-and-roll, crawl through simulated smoke, and even learn how to safely escape a building during a fire.
