Firefighter Brain Breaks

Fire safety week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago fire.  Fire prevention week has been observed Sunday through Saturday during which October 9th falls. Fire safety week begins on October 4th this year.  This years theme is, every bedroom needs a working smoke alarm.  While we are learning about fire safety and honoring our local fire safety officials, it’s also an easy way to incorporate movement into the day.  Firefighter brain breaks are a great way to move while learning about fire safety and throughout the year!
