NFPA partners with Legoland Florida to teach fire prevention and safety

Published: 09 February, 2012

NFPA will be the official sponsor of "The Big Test", an acrobatic, comedy show in which a cast of real characters goes through a series of hysterical antics as they try to become volunteer firefighters.

While their approach is slapstick and audience members may find themselves on the wrong end of a stream of water, there are important fire safety messages imparted along the way. The show runs four times a day at the Lego City Stage and will be seen by thousands of kids and families during the life of this arrangement.

In addition to The Big Test sponsorship and messaging, NFPA will be working with Legoland Florida throughout the year to spread fire safety information. There will be a particular emphasis during October as part of Fire Prevention Week activities. The partnership also includes park discounts that will be available during the duration of the partnership for NFPA members and friends and firefighters as part of a firefighter appreciation program.
