Safety House
The Truro Fire Department's Safety House is a mobile trailer that simulates the environment in a smoke-filled building. The trailer was purchased with funds raised in the community.
This training vehicle is used to teach children how to escape from a burning, smoky enclosure. This safety demonstration targets children in the 5-10 age group. Fire department members take the Safety House to Truro area schools where the children are taught how to stay low to the floor and safely crawl out of a smoke-filled room.
The Safety House is also prominently exhibited at other community events—such as the annual Tomato Festival, the local 4th of July celebration, and the Christmas on the Town event. The Fire Department will gladly make the Safety House available at any special event in the community.
