Arizona Burn Foundation Inc

Advocacy & education: through these programs, the foundation provides burn prevention education and awareness that helps keep communities in arizona safer. See program descriptions below. Community smoke alarm program: the community smoke alarm installation program targets at risk neighborhoods determined by one or all the following characteristics: low income, neighborhood older than 15 years, and/or high incidence of home fires. Most of these events occur in low to moderate income neighborhoods serving a population who might not otherwise be able to afford a smoke alarm. A typical client is a family living in a single-family dwelling that is more than 15 years old. Smoke alarms are provided free of charge and are installed by trained volunteers. Burn prevention education program: the foundation recently launched milo and moxie: smart safety rangers, a new burn prevention program designed to educate preschool through fifth graders in the state of arizona. With the help of partners throughout the state - including fire departments, hospitals and other volunteers - we are educating more children and their families about burn prevention than ever before. This comprehensive program covers all aspects of burn and fire safety and is endorsed by phoenix fire department, professional fire fighters of arizona and arizona burn center.
