The Division of State Fire Marshal’s Fire Prevention Bureau has created a training session for FFA students, 4-H clubs, Young Farmer Groups and Agricultural Education classes.
The Fire Safety on the Farm course will introduce learners to the many causes of fires in an agricultural setting. Throughout the program, safety best practices are introduced in the area of fire, electrical, storage and equipment safety as well as proper function and use of portable fire extinguishers. This program is designed to be delivered to all ages of agricultural workers including children of home-based farms.
This 45 minute to 1 hour course is available virtually by contacting Division of State Fire Marshal Fire Safety Educator Dale Schulte at dale.schulte@com.ohio.gov or 614-425-4312.
