Survive Alive
In the basement of Station One of the City of Brookfield Fire Department, there is a Survive Alive House that was dedicated in May 1996. Since that time, thousands of children have practiced fire safety drills and learned critical thinking skills both in their classroom and on-site.
Many donors helped build our homes, fueled by the Brookfield Junior Woman’s Club. We have a two-room house where children practice a bedroom exit drill and look for important safety hazards in the kitchen. An adjacent house is home to the classroom where children continue learning what was presented during the Safety Talks in their classrooms a few weeks before the field trip to the House.
Currently, the Survive Alive House curriculum is used for 3rd and 5th grade public and parochial school students in Brookfield and Elm Grove.
