Fire Safety Unit This site is produced by the NYS Departement of State. While it is geared to the younger crowd in most of the activities (K-3), the actual information is very good and could be adapted for older children as well. Great information on fire safety with printable pages for coloring, puzzles, as well as pictures of the department in action. Really cool site.

Family & Friends CPR Anytime The Family & Friends CPR Anytime Personal Learning Program allows families, friends and the general public – those who most likely would never attend a traditional CPR course – to learn the core skills of CPR in just 22 minutes using their own personal kit. The kit contains everything needed to learn basic CPR, and skills can be learned anywhere, from the comfort of a family home to a large community group setting. Also, at under $30, the CPR Anytime kit is a cost-effective way for the entire family to learn CPR at home. This kit does not provide certification in CPR. By the American Heart Association. We've personally used this kit for our family and were very pleased with the fullness of the presentation and the ease of use. Great way to extend health studies into practical skills especially if it is difficult to get away to a CPR class.
