About Our Public Safety Education Advisory Group

The FSRI Public Safety Education Advisory Group (PSEAG) is comprised of members of the fire service, fire safety educators and community risk reduction experts. It serves to provide guidance on the development and execution of FSRI programs and campaigns to educate the general public about fire safety and drive awareness of preventative measures that can help save lives. PSEAG members provide the invaluable perspective of firefighters and educators, both from what they’ve learned on the job and while conducting their own fire safety education and training activities.
