New Record Low for Chicago Fire Deaths in 2012
The Survive Alive House Foundation is thrilled
to present a new interactive, 3D, Virtual Tour of the Survive Alive House. Our
Virtual Tour, which was funded by a grant from Safeco Insurance and designed
and hosted by 3DInternet, gives visitors an extremely realistic experience that
can only be surpassed by touring the house in person. Please explore our
website and learn about fire safety and burn prevention.
The Survive Alive House Foundation (SAHF) is a 501 (c) 3,
not-for-profit organization. The SAHF includes area business
leaders and representatives of the City of Chicago Fire
Department.
The Survive Alive House facility located at 1010
South Clinton Street in Chicago is an interactive, instructional
facility that has been used to teach tens of thousands of
children the fundamentals of fire safety.
Children are taught by firemen in a classroom setting and
then they experience a simulation of a fire in the home using
special effects like non-toxic, artificial smoke, heat-panels
in bedroom doors, and a street corner meeting place with a
telephone.
What many children have learned in their visits to the Survive
Alive House actually saved lives. Since 1989, the Survive
Alive House has contributed to a dramatic
drop in fire deaths. Testimonials from several of the
children tell the story of the Survive Alive House the best.
The Chicago Fire Department staffs the Survive Alive House
with a public education unit and the SAHF provides operating
funds for upkeep of the facility, educational materials that
the children receive when they visit, and transportation
grants (available to groups on a need basis).
Feel free to schedule
a visit for your class or group and take a Virtual Tour
and test your knowledge with our fire safety quiz to improve
your chances of surviving a fire.
If you are interested in contributing
to the SAHF or serving on our Board of Directors, please
contact our President.
Enjoy your visit and be sure to return soon to see what new
fire safety and burn prevention information and links have
been posted.
