Nursery Boxes

Many requests are made for the fire service to attend nurseries and pre-school groups with a fire appliance.

Although Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service personnel will make every effort to support such events where resources permit, it is not always possible.

The aim of the nursery box is to educate young people in their early learning years in fire safety awareness and to give them an introduction to the fire service. It will be beneficial for the groups and a better use of resources to encourage the use of the nursery box, as an alternative or addition to a visit from crews.

Nursery boxes will be left with nursery or pre-school groups for a mutually agreed period taking into consideration the demand for the box at any given time.

• Each nursery box contains: -
• Poster
• Flashing fire engine book
• Smoke alarm
• Mobile phone
• Fire kit and helmet x 4
• Hose and nozzle
• Frances the firefly- video, book and jigsaw
• Stop, drop and roll jigsaw
• Hose and ladders game
• “Get Out, Stay Out” leaflet / poster
• Note For Guidance booklet
• Activity book

If you would like to use the box at your nursery or pre-school group, they can be obtained by contacting your local wholetime or day-crew station.
