Red E. Fox is a program to educate children about 9-1-1.

One of the most important things children need to know is what to do in an emergency.  Davidson County 9-1-1 has a program called "9-1-1 for Kids."  This program was developed to help young children understand the importance of calling 9-1-1 for
true emergencies.  Studies have shown that twenty percent of calls to 9-1-1 are 'abandoned' calls, hang-ups and silence.  Children make many of these calls.  Emergency personnel must trace every abandoned call.  "The Great 9-1-1 Adventure" decreases misuse.  The materials are informative and educational and kids will benefit from this program.

"9-1-1 for Kids" will teach children, "When to Call, How to Call, What to Say."  It is a powerful educational experience that is sure to make a positive impact on the young audience.
