That is a great idea. Lots of people learn CPR. Perhaps there is a market for a school that teaches basic, hands-on safety skills.

-How to put out a cooker fire with a fire blanket.

-How to use a fire extinguisher.

-How to cut a seat belt.

-How to break a window.

etc

Could be quite a fun day out. I would definitely pay for something like that for me and my family.

Your local boy scouts almost certainly have a working relationship with their local fire department that results in the FD taking them to wherever they train once every couple years and going through all those motions and more.

A 5lb dry extinguisher in the right hands can put out one of those oval stock tanks full of burning diesel, twice.
