Fire Prevention Supplies
The Office of the State Fire Marshal has a limited stock of fire prevention supplies that it will provide to Kansas facilities, departments, and organizations that have a need for these items. All requests must be completed on-line and are filled on a first-come first-served basis.
Please understand that the prevention budget is extremely limited and most prevention materials are costly. Materials must be used and distributed as effectively as possible.
Use and Distribution
Due to the limited funds available to purchase prevention materials, discretion will be used when distributing materials. Requested materials should be targeted at the particular audience and not just handed out so that we can say that materials were distributed (example: handing out Carbon Monoxide Brochures to preschool children would not be proper use of the material).
Locality
Fire Prevention materials should be provided to the citizens of the State of Kansas. Any agency, group, or organization requesting materials that is located outside of the State of Kansas will be referred to the fire agency in their state.

5. Get to know EDITH DVD – Rental – Grades 2-3
E.D.I.T.H. -- Exit Drills In The Home. The video tells the engaging story of a group of friends who witness a fire on their way home from school. After learning that everyone got out safely because they practiced their escape plan, they decide to work with Sparky to make their own video showing how a typical family can protect themselves by making and practicing EDITH. Designed to appeal to "older" Sparky fans who have basic reading abilities, the DVD supports language arts curriculum areas such as research and writing, and will encourage children to participate in those activities just like the kids in the video. A Presenter's Guide with supplemental print materials for classroom or take-home use are included on the DVD.
6. Various fun items
Plastic fire hats, erasers, stickers, and pencils are a big hit with young children. These items are considered “ice breakers” and possess little or no educational value. A limited supply will be obtained and distributed when funds are available. When available, these items will be supplied along with your request for any of the above (Items 1-5) materials.
