Life Safety House Trailers
The Life Safety House trailers are available state-wide and to all Utah fire departments. These trailers support the prevention and educational efforts of fire departments in Utah by supplying household fire safety in a realistic, hands-on environment.
Unfortunately, the trailers cannot leave the state and cannot be lent to other entities other than fire departments.
There are 4 trailers available throughout Utah. Each Life Safety House is equipped to teach:
- Fire escape from a child’s bedroom with the use of smoke, smoke alarms, and a heated door
- Kitchen fire prevention and safety with the use of a stove, pan, toaster, sink, microwave, and fire extinguisher
- How smoke detectors help save lives
- Staffing and education inside the trailer is the responsibility of the Fire Department who is requesting the trailer. Trailers should only be transported by qualified trailer drivers within the requesting department.
- All requests for trailers must be made by fire service personnel.
A minimum of three fire service members is suggested and a maximum of eight students in each room is recommended. Houses are approximately 30 feet in length. While generators are on each trailer, using a local power supply is recommended.
Caution must be used when young children or those with asthma are watching a demonstration using the non-toxic smoke and realistic smoke alarms.
It is the fire department’s responsibility to deep clean and repair any damage caused to the trailers while under their use.
Sparky the Fire Dog Suit
The Sparky Costume is available to rent from our office. Keep in mind that Sparky is licensed material and your fire department must adhere to specific legal rules when using the costume. You can read about it here. LINK.
Sparky may only be used by Utah fire department personnel.
A handler must always be present with Sparky (its hard to see and Sparky isn’t allowed to speak).
We recommend each user only stay in the costume for 20-30 minutes, especially in the summer. It gets hot in there.
Your department will be responsible for any cleaning/dry cleaning/repairs if the costume is not returned in the same condition it was lent out.
To borrow the Sparky Suit, use the Trailer Request form above.
