Children in the area will soon learn about the importance of fire safety in an innovative, new way.

BHP Billiton recently donated $30,000 to the Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs. The funds will go towards the first interactive Safety Trailer in the province and it will be placed in Humboldt.

The trailer will allow young children to learn about fire safety in their homes, through fire simulation scenarios within the vehicle. Props like heated doors and smoke machines will bring life-like safety strategies to light for the youngsters as they learn how to stay safe if they experience a fire at home.
