The 'Nursery Box' series was part of a pack released by the fire brigade into nurseries across the country, teaching nursery school children fundamental fire safety practice, such as knowing your address, calling '999' and 'Stop, Drop and Roll.' We created three episodes of 'Ellie the Firedog', which outlined these simple lessons in a fun way, often leading into further classroom-based activities which were provided in the pack by the fire service. We also created three accompanying nursery rhyme sing-a-longs, with lyrics that highlighted the issues from each programme.
The overall aim of 'Fire Safety in the Home' was to create a high quality resource which was fully accessible to people with communication barriers through its visuality and the option of using both subtitles and British Sign Language. In reaching the widest possible audience, the DVD can reduce more accidental fires in the home by highlighting the potential risks and then demonstrating safe practice.
