Team Up To Educate Children on the Importance of Fire Safety

Durham, NC—How do you accomplish children’s fire safety and prevention education in a fun and creative way?  With real fire trucks and dogs that perform tricks, of course!

On October 11th, 2008, A Sea of Learning has arranged an important event to wrap up National Fire Prevention Week and that is fun for the whole family!  The celebration will work off of the 2008 theme, “Prevent Home Fires” and will be FREE and open to all ages. The event will be set up in the A Sea of Learning Parking Lot and inside the store.

At 10am and 1pm, local author Sandi Meyer-Tian, also a third grade school teacher in Wake County Schools, will be reading from her book Buddy Goes to the Fire Station and will have available her second book,  Buddy Meets Bubba the Traffic Safety Officer.  Sandi will be reading her book and her talented dog, Buddy, will be demonstrating fire safety tips through his tricks!

“My life’s goal is to help teach children about safety, “ Meyer-Tian remarks. “ Children just love to see Buddy perform and learn about safety in a fun, exciting and unique way.   They are inspired to learn fire safety …just like Buddy!”

Children will have the opportunity to have their picture taken with Buddy wearing a bright red fire hat.  “Buddy” puppets and books will be for sale in the store and Sandi and Buddy will be available for book signings.  5% of all proceeds from book sales will benefit the SPCA.

Firefighters from the Durham Fire Department will be on site showing off their gear and their fire truck and informing children on the dangers of fire in the home and how to be safe.

Captain Stroud, of the Durham Fire Department is very excited to have such a unique end to the week.

“We’re really excited about fire prevention week we’re glad that people in the community are as well. It’s wonderful that A Sea of Learning has taken an extra step by inviting a local author who has written a book on fire safety.”

A Sea of Learning is a 3100 square-foot parent-teacher store which opened in November 2007.
