The Fire Safety House is an educational tool that is used in many schools, church events, neighborhood events, and the like.  It is a small version of a house which has a kitchen, family room with fire place and an upstairs bedroom.  All these rooms are made to look as a room would in real life and are used to help explain what one would do in case of a fire in the home.  These rooms have the capability to provide artificial smoke, and the bedroom has a heated door which simulates what it would feel like if a fire was on the other side. If you are interested in reserving the Fire Safety House, contact Assistant Chief Sasser at (919) 580-4261, or you can email him at esasser@ci.goldsboro.nc.us.
