Before you play
Education, not emergency guidance.
In a real emergency: leave the dangerous area, call 911 from a safe location, and follow emergency responders.
No account, name, email address, or exact location is required to play.
How it works
Short rounds. Three learning paths.
The game calls these choices categories. Each learning path includes questions across multiple fire-safety topics.
The challenge introduces and reinforces fire-safety concepts while helping departments see which topics may need stronger outreach.
Prevention and planning
Questions that reinforce prevention, preparation, alarms, escape planning, and safer decisions.
Choose the safest action
Scenario-based questions that ask participants to select a safer response and review the reason.
Question bank at a glance
A maintained, source-registered bank built for meaningful outreach.
The challenge is not a short list of generic trivia. Its current release contains 300 questions organized across 19 fire- and life-safety topic categories, three learning paths, and multiple ways to ask participants to recognize hazards, make safer decisions, and think through preparation and response.

Source and research foundation
Questions are maintained with source references and reviewed against materials including the NFPA Educational Messages Desk Reference and fire-service education guidance, U.S. Fire Administration resources, CPSC guidance, Ready.gov, National 911 resources, and other identified public-safety references. The interaction and message framing are also informed by the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy study conducted for NFPA on fire and life-safety messages for children.
Source-informed does not mean NFPA- or Johns Hopkins-endorsed, independently field-validated, or a guarantee of learning or behavior change. The question bank is an educational resource, not certification, emergency guidance, or a substitute for local instruction.
Inside the program
Education that produces usable outreach reporting.
Departments can review aggregate starts, completions, scores, pass rates, topic and question patterns, learning-path activity, and campaign attribution.
Useful for Fire Prevention Week, school outreach, community events, CRR planning, and participation documentation that may support grant reporting.
Educational practice. A quiz score reflects this round, not a certification.
About this activity
Educational purpose
General education only. The challenge does not provide certification, a code-compliance determination, legal advice, or emergency guidance.
Measurement limits
A score reflects one quiz round. It does not prove durable learning, behavior change, or community-wide knowledge.
Privacy
Activity becomes privacy-minimized aggregate reporting rather than named participant profiles.
