These additions give the program a new national perspective that is important. in Canada which is second only to the U.S, among industrialized countries in the frequency of fire-related deaths per capita and which has recorded an average of 556 fire deaths a year over the past decade, The CBC TV special will be aired in British Columbia on Saturday, October 9th, 2:30 to 3 p.m. The Fire Safety Activity Book presents a. series of creative activities to teach fire — safety practices and encourages « home fire drills. Nearly a million companies will be made available to children and their families through elementary schools, fire halls .and McDonald’s restaurants across Canada, Both the TV program and the activity book have been prepared with the co-operation and technical advise of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs and Fire Prevention Canada. Pian To Get Out Alive ‘(PTGOA), proposed by an Edmonton fire fighter and brought to life nine years ago with the help of McDonald’s is int event’ ‘ofa fite4 their, home. The concept, put forward by Tim Vandenbrink, is to encourage families to stage “home fire drills -- much as is - done as a fire prevention measure in schools. Plan To Get Out Alive is a fire fighters’ program, Ron teach Kids. al and MacDonald’s Marcoux, president and CEO of McDonald’s Western Canada and the McDonald’s executive who first authorized the © company’s sponsorship of PTGOA, said the company is pleased to a partner with fire fighters, schools and media in this successful education program because “we know it works.” He adds: - © We all. tend to think it won't happen to us. But year after year, fire fighters tell us of incidents where children have put their home fire drill ‘training to use in saving -themselves and their families from. fires.” Last year, for example, in British Columbia alone, Daniel D'’Agosto, 13, of Vernon, . Cheyene Cederholm, 17, of Elkford, Lara Beifour, 7, of Fort nelson; and Roxanne Pope, 10, of Surrey experienced home fires and got out alive to tell how PTGOA training helped them to calmly and effectively evacuate members of their. families from the fires. ' Since the program started in © 1984, there have been many other stories describing how the quick, correct actions of children - attributed to putting their PTGOA training to practical use - helped save their own lives and those of their families. ; “We congratulate “Tim = ‘Vandenbrink, the Fire Chiefs and the Community Fire Departments who have made the program such a success,” Marcoux said,” and we thank ° the CBC for joining with us in: ‘this parinership for 1993,” i As part of the Plan.To Get, Owe Alive® program “in many * Western: Canada communities, . some children will ear a chance to be “Fire Chief For a Day.” Entry forms - like the activity ‘books .- are available at ' participating McDonalds restaurants and local fire departments.
