Welcome to SurviveAlive.org
The Firefighters Survive Alive! program educates children about fire and life safety. Educational programs take place twice per day on Mondays through Fridays in the Survive Alive Village located on the second floor of the Indianapolis Firefighters Museum at 748 Massachusetts Avenue in Indianapolis, Indiana. This state-of-the-art child safety education facility utilizes a two-bedroom home environment and simulated fire and smoke to give program participants the life-saving skills and experience to escape the perils of a fire. The educational programs used at the Survive Alive Village are designed for children of all ages, but especially for those in the second grade. Children who participate in the hands-on educational programs at the Survive Alive Village benefit from the following activities:
- Classroom training at Survive Alive Village provided by a real Marion County Firefighter;
- Practice to escape from a simulated fire situation in the Survive Alive house at Survive Alive Village with 911 telephone training to learn how to report a fire or other life-threatening emergency; and
- Evaluation and testing of what child participants learned and retained.
The Survive Alive Village is open Monday through Friday. Sessions are available at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and must be scheduled in advance.
