Why Should the Phoenix Fire Department Want Fire Fit Kids?
For the past several decades the Phoenix Fire Department has saved many lives by teaching the youth of our city Urban Survival. Through this program we have taught children fire prevention, survival behaviors, pool safety, and numerous other lessons that will make our lives better forever. Still, society is changing and the ways that we can improve the lives of our customers are still evolving. Fire FitKids is a new way, it is another opportunity for Phoenix Fire to share our passion, our experience, our knowledge and our reputation to make a difference in our community.
