Preschool Fire Prevention 

Young children are especially vulnerable to fire and burn injuries. To address this issue, the Grandview Fire Department offers a comprehensive fire safety program for preschools and daycares. The program includes in-service training for new daycare/preschool licensees, an age-appropriate fire safety curriculum, and follow-up station tours for groups completing the fire safety curriculum. 

Fire Stoppers Firesetting Intervention Program

The Grandview Fire Department offers a free, confidential education program for children ages 2-17 who show curiosity about fire or have started a fire. The program involves an assessment of the
child’s risk for using fire, fun age-appropriate activities that help the child learn about being safe
around fire, and information for parents on how to keep their whole family safe. For those children
who would benefit from additional help, referrals are available.

Safe Place 
All Grandview fire stations are designated safe places
"Until our streets are safe...
Until families can understand each other...
Until drugs and violence disappear...
Until no young person needs to run away or feel afraid...
There must be Safe Place."

Safe Place is the first step to help for any youth in crisis or at risk. This community collaboration program, operated by youth shelters or youth serving agencies make it possible for any youth to access help at locations including fast food restaurants, convenience stores, fire stations, libraries and city buses which display the Safe Place sign. Youth can easily find help at Safe Place sites in their own neighborhood whenever they need it. Safe Place connects youth to immediate help and safety and offers supportive services to both youth and their families
