Dan’s Firehouse
This week we wanted to show a little more from our weekend trip to FDNY Appreciation Weekend at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. Below are a few more picts of the event.
The FDNY had their apparatus on show and did some great demonstrations. I also had the privilege to tour the FDNY Three Forty Three fireboat. That was amazing! Check out picts in the coming weeks on Firefighterdan.com!

ABOUT FIREFIRE DAN™
Firefighter Dan™ features a safety curriculum that helps kids 2-6 recognize, reduce and escape hazards while helping to develop numeracy, literacy, art, science, history, reasoning and citizenship. By utilizing all types of media: photographs, video, illustration, animation and an interactive format that creates viewer participation, Firefighter Dan™ will engage children to be confident, active, and helpful members of the community.
Firefighter Dan™ will be featuring Safety Tips and other content here on Firelife.com as well as on FirefighterDan.com. Each of our Safety Tips will be a short animation between 60 and 90 seconds. We believe by keeping the content in short bytesize chunks of information, a child will be able to better digest the information. In addition, we will be sharing ‘behind-the-scenes’ to The Firefighter Dan™ Show as we move forward in production.
