The Clinton County Firefighters Association is a very active orgainzation within Clinton County and each year completes many projects and runs many programs. None is larger than its Fire Prevention Program. The Firefighters Association annually reaches out to the residents of our County with fire safety tips and educational materials. One of the most well known programs run by the Firefighters Association is the childrens Fire Safety Trailer. With assistance from the Plattsburgh Noon Rotary in 1997 the Association purchased a 32' long Scotty Fire Safety House trailer which features three different rooms for face to face instruction on many fire safety topics with children and young adults. The front room is a kitchen setting that features a series of fire safety violations or problems that participants are asked to identify. A second room is a living room with violations or problems with a fire place and a door to check for heat. The last room is set up as a mock bedroom can be filled with smoke which activates smoke detectors and participants can practice a home fire drill and evacuate the house.

The trailer is owned and maintained by the Firefighters Association but is generally operated at events around the County at schools, open houses and other public functions by the host Fire Department. Agencies interested in obtaining the Fire Safety Trailer for a function are urged to contact their local Fire Chief.

Fire Departments looking to reserve the trailer for their events or other local gatherings they are supporting can complete the on-line reservation form below. After you hit submit an e-mail will be sent to the Fire Safety Trailer Coordinator and he/she will get back to you with its availability and make arrangements for its pickup and return.
