The Carmel Fire Department recently celebrated the grand opening of its new headquarters, a state-of-the-art facility that includes the innovative Stay Alive Family Education (S.A.F.E.) House. This S.A.F.E. House was made possible through private donations, with significant contributions from the Koorsen Family, who are well-known for their commitment to fire safety and community service.
The S.A.F.E. House is designed as a high-tech, interactive learning environment where families can engage in realistic fire and disaster simulations. This hands-on experience aims to teach critical safety skills in a controlled setting, enhancing the community's preparedness for emergencies. The facility includes advanced simulation rooms that mimic various real-life scenarios, such as home fires, severe weather, and other disasters, providing both educational and life-saving experiences for participants of all ages.
The Koorsen Family's generosity, along with other private donors, has allowed the Carmel Fire Department to build this cutting-edge facility, which is set to become a cornerstone of the community's public safety education efforts. The S.A.F.E. House underscores Carmel's commitment to ensuring that residents are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect themselves and their families in the event of an emergency.
This new headquarters and its educational components represent a significant leap forward in public safety infrastructure, reflecting the ongoing collaboration between the City of Carmel, its fire department, and the supportive community members who have made this vision a reality.
