1. SCOPE
The Canadian Forces Fire Marshal (CFFM) requires a minimum of 50 up to a maximum of 100 Fire Prevention Week Kits (herein referred to as "Kit(s)") each year. These Kits will be distributed to requesting DND /CF Fire Departments and/or HMC Ships across Canada.
2. BACKGROUND
CFFM is mandated to deliver information on fire prevention and safety in both official languages (i.e., English and French) across Canada through the DND/CF Fire Departments. This mandate is the same as the goals of Fire Prevention Week; that is, to educate the public to take precautions to prevent potentially harmful fires, and provide information about surviving fires. It is a proactive method of reducing fire emergencies subsequently limiting damage by these incidences. In today’s world of continuous technological advancement and the rising presence of electronics around us and in the home there is an ever-increasing potential of fires, injuries and even death.
CFFM will most effectively fulfill its mandate by aligning itself with the nationally recognized symbols and information provided through the Kits. All CF Fire Departments will display the kits during their open house for families to take at their leisure. The kits are also used by our fire prevention inspector’s branch as a tool to inform on fire prevention when visiting schools, day care centers, etc. The kits are a valuable tool for the firefighters and are used to send crucial fire prevention messages to Base personnel, their families and to the community.
3. TASKS

The Kits are comprised of an array of fire prevention and educational material such as: fire prevention booklets, pamphlets, activity books and tools on helping a family escape their home in the event of a fire emergency situation.
