Partnership will spread important safety messages for kids and families
Streamers flew and smoke alarms beeped as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) kicked off its long-term partnership with LEGOLAND® Florida to provide lifesaving information to families and kids during a press event and special fire safety day at central Florida’s newest theme park.
NFPA will sponsor the park’s fire safety - themed “The Big Test” live show at the LEGO® City Stage where these messages will be incorporated. “The Big Test” is an acrobatic, comedy show in which a cast of characters goes through a series of hysterical antics as they try to become firefighters. There will also be special activities throughout the year that stress the importance of fire safety and acknowledge the critical work of the fire service.
“This partnership allows us to combine kids’ love of the fire service and LEGOLAND to build life-saving knowledge,” said Adrian Jones, LEGOLAND Florida general manager. “We are proud to play this important role for our community.”
“The majority of fire deaths happen in homes where there are no working smoke alarms,” said NFPA President Jim Shannon. “We are excited to join with LEGOLAND Florida to impart two extremely important messages - test your smoke alarms and have an escape plan.”
We look forward to seeing you at The Big Test soon!
This Thursday, February 23rd, come to LEGOLAND® Florida to visit with local firefighters and learn about fire safety at "The Big Test" in LEGO® City. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) will join LEGOLAND Florida as the official partner 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 firefighters.
Arrive early as the Winter Haven Fire Department will have an active fire truck in the LEGOLAND Florida parking lot with local firefighters and NFPA staff on hand to answer questions. Then, thirty minutes prior to each showing of "The Big Test" there will be four interactive stations open in LEGO City where park guests can learn fire safety from local firefighters and NFPA representative.
We invite you to join us at the 12:45pm performance of "The Big Test" where the official partnership announcement will be made.
