The
Learn Not to BurnŽ (LNTB) curriculum is a fire safety curriculum
designed by teachers for teachers and is intended for use by individual
classroom teachers. The curriculum is written for Grades K - 3 and
teaches 22 key fire safety behaviours.
The
LNTB curriculum is an internationally accepted program that was
developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The
Canadian Tire Child Protection Association has funded the distribution
and translation of the materials to all public schools in Canada.
The

curriculum in 1991 as a component of the health and guidance curriculum.
The OFC is responsible for implementing the curriculum, distributing
the program materials and for providing in-service training for
the teachers in the Manitoba school divisions.

as language arts, math, art, health/safety, social studies and science.
Also included are evaluation forms to test students' fire safety
knowledge both before and after the program has been taught.
