For immediate release

RANDOLPH — Chief Richard Donovan is pleased to announce that the Randolph Fire Department has been awarded $6,380 for the Fiscal Year 2021 Student Awareness of Fire Education (S.A.F.E.) Program and $2,880 for the Senior SAFE Program by the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services. 

The Randolph Fire Department will use the grant money to continue the department’s fire education and prevention program in the schools as well as within the senior community.

“The S.A.F.E and Senior SAFE Programs are great initiatives that allow us to provide fire safety and prevention education to students and seniors in Randolph,” Chief Donovan said. “These grant funds will help us continue these educational programs, and we are appreciative to the state for awarding us these funds.” 

Funding for the programs allows for specially trained fire educators to work with classroom teachers and seniors to deliver age-appropriate lessons on fire and life safety. The key fire and life safety behaviors in the school-based program meet both the requirements of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Health Curriculum Frameworks and the state Department of Fire Services Curriculum Planning Guidebook.

The average number of children who die in fires each year in Massachusetts has dropped 78% since the program started compared to a similar time frame before it started, according to the state’s Department of Fire Services, which administers the two programs.

The S.A.F.E. and Senior SAFE Programs provide $1.9 million through the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to local fire departments. The programs are administered by the state’s Department of Fire Services.
