Medfield Fire Dept Receives Student Awareness of Fire Education (S.A.F.E.) Grant The Medfield Fire Department is proud to announce that we have received nearly $7,500 in an annual grant program for our SAFE & Senior SAFE programs. The department received $4,575 for the Student Awareness of Fire Education (S.A.F.E.) Program and $2,8,55 for the Senior SAFE Program. The SAFE program is designed to teach students to recognize the dangers of fire and the fire hazards of tobacco products through 23 key fire safety behaviors taught in developmentally appropriate ways. The Senior SAFE program aims to reduce older adult fire deaths through fire and life safety education. The SAFE grant helps afford the MFD with the cost of purchasing Fire Safety books, Fire Safety stickers, etc. to educate students, as well as Fire Safety programming. Thank you MFD Captain Bill DeKing for your work in securing this grant. Please contact DeKing at 508-359-2323 for more information on the SAFE Program and/or the Senior SAFE program.
