Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation

I’ve known and worked with Dayna and her fabulous Dalmatians for well over 25 years. Maybe more, it’s been so long, I lose track! I first met her and Sparkle’s, her first spotted wonder, traveling and teaching in children’s school classrooms. It’s been amazing to see how she and her highly trained dogs have taught children how to be safer from fire when it was a relatively new concept. I was fortunate to work in the same field during my career and we often got to work closely. How lucky I‘ve been! Watching her impact grow, first a few kids in one classroom at a time in the beginning reaching across America, through her children's books, to now reaching kids around the globe is truly amazing! Yes, she has, and continues, to help children learn proper fire safety (and hopefully their parents) with her knowledge. There is no telling how many lives she has saved! She truly desperately wants to save all children! Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation is truly a great nonprofit, maybe the greatest! And it has been my fortune to have known her and the incredible work she does!

As parents we should educate our kids about fire safety. Having a good educational tool such as watching Molly and her fire safety tips gives the children a thorough view of the tips. Easily understood and can be retained in their minds. The KKSF should be greatly funded so they can continue with their work in educating parents and children about the importance of fire safety.

This is such a wonderful organization! Through their work so many children have been educated about fire safety! This is an invaluable service!

As a retired Fire Chief and former Public Education Coordinator for the Alaska State Fire Marshalls Office I can’t say enough about the great work that the Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation is doing to educate kids about fire safety. Dana and her dogs have been leading this challenge for several years now and have a big impact on saving children from injury and death from fire.

I had the opportunity to view Molly and Dayna in action and in person when they came to Hastings for the premiere of the Superdogs Movie. Very engaging show! It was rewarding to watch the interaction with the children present. Their message is vital and worthwhile for all children to know as it is never known when a child may have to use such skills in an emergency.

It is awe inspiring to realize how far-reaching their message has been to children through-out the world. I wish this was available to me when I was a child!

The KKFSF is the best out there for Fire Safety. I love how they show the safety tips and all ways have new tips. The whole team does a great job interacting with children. Thanks for all that you do!

The KKFSF is an amazing organization for educating children on fire safety in a way they can identify with. This organization has been part of my life for about 13 years, and has not only changed my life, but many around me.

The KKFSF is the best out there for Fire Safety. The hole team is number one in my book for fire Safety. I love how they show the safety tips and all ways have new tips. Thank you keep it up. Cheryl and Zeus

Educates children on fire safety in a very educational and fun way. They have even an educational activity book in several languages to help kids in other countries too. I have used the Swedish version with my students here in Sweden and they learned a lot!

I have known Dayna and her fire safety dogs for over 15 years.I have seen both Molly and Boden be trained in fire safety and to help others in their community.When they came to an event in NYC I met Dayna and Molly.Please let their public and worthwhile service continue

One of the challenges when teaching children is keeping their interest. Watching Dayna and Molly work together to teach fire safety is a treat. They capture and keep the kids attention and make learning fun. Dayna is very passionate about teaching kids and is always finding news ways to make learning fun.

I have worked with this foundation for more years than I can count. The work that is done by this foundation, Dayna and Molly, have saved countless lives from fires and other hazardous event. The Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation is a well-run organization, with limited overhead expenses. Their fundraising efforts make the work of the foundation possible, and money is directed to meet the mission and goals of the foundation. This is a passionate and caring group of people that have an excellent history of commitment to community and to the fire service. I cannot say enough about Dayna and the work that she does with this foundation to keep kids fire safe.

I've shared my experience with the Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation before, but I would like to reiterate my support. In the middle of a pandemic, the KKFSF continues to persevere and continue to their work teaching fire safety to children. Although they cannot travel as fire safety ambassadors as they generally do, they have focused their efforts on sharing their message via the internet. Dayna and Molly (plus Boden) are personable and charming, which makes their message easy for children to absorb. Molly is just the best. She's adorable and a perfect mascot for the Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation. I will continue to support his excellent foundation.

The KKFSF foundation is a fantastic organization that has an immediate impact on the safety of children/families by teaching them the practices of fire safety. The unique approach that Dayna has taken by having her Dalmatian dogs not only as the mascot of the organization but as an integral part of the teaching experience for the kids is a brilliant way to get engagement from the kids and their families. I have had the privilege of meeting them in person and seeing first hand the wonderful work they do.

My experience with KKFS Foundation Inc began few years ago. I became aware of Keep Kids Fire Safe on social media. Fire Safety for children is of the utmost importance and Firefighter Dayna, Molly, & Boden are dedicated to make sure that happens....not only here in the United States, but world wide. Dayna has created an extensive fire safety program on skype and is close to 1 Million miles! Fire safety for children is her passion and I am honored to be able to help her achieve her mission. I have experienced her program first hand and was amazed at how she, along with her Dalmatians, are able to connect to children in teaching them to be Fire Safe!

I have been Skyping with KKFSF for several years. Dayna and Molly help teach my kids about fire safety. It is such a great organization that I'm proud to be associated with year after year.

Hosted this great organization at one of our California Fire Museum and Safety Learning Center events, while they were here in California with Molley the Fire Safety Dog, who performed her fire prevention effort very well, at our event!

I have known Dayna and the work she and her precious Dalmatians have done for many, many years. She has been a member of the fire service for a long time and is very aware of the needless tragedy of children who are burned or die in home fires. She knows how important it is for children to know what to do. So teaching them how to be more safe has always been a priority, and a calling for her. Equally important, she has always included her talented Dalmatian who helps to reinforce the skills being taught. Before she created her nonprofit foundation, she would look for ways to enable her to reach more children with this life saving knowledge. In the beginning she visited schools and other gatherings where she could teach children fire safety. Eventually she wrote and published a book for children about fire safety. And then, another book, etc., always looking for ways to help her reach more children.

She knows the importance of being involved in fire safety education from both vantage points, directly teaching children and also helping to create educational materials for the fire service to use so they can appropriately teach fire safety. She has served on professional committee's that have a direct national impact in creating appropriate educational materials for the fire service to use. Along the way she has been awarded grants and funding from companies to help her with the cost of her work. But as time went by she would realize the need for more support to increase her ability to reach more children, and eventually she created her nonprofit foundation. Not only could she teach fire safety to children across America, but she can literally reach children around the world with this valuable education through skyping! She has always been very creative in finding new ways to make a positive impact on our children, and the foundation helps her in her efforts. Always with her precious and talented Dalmatian (Molly) by her side who adds so much to her educational efforts.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Dayna professionally for many years. We both work in the area of fire prevention and safety education for those who are at a higher risk of injuries and death in a home fire. Over the years we have worked together on various projects. I have served on the Board of Directors of her foundation for several years. During that time I served as President of the Board for a year. We both are dog lovers. Her very talented fire safety Dalmatians have always had a special place in my heart and do a wonderful job of helping her teach valuable life saving skills to children. As a result she has been made aware of several instances when the knowledge she taught to a child directly impacted the safety of them and their family when there was a fire.

The Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation’s mission to share fire safety messages with kids to help them protect themselves in case they come across of Fire. Their fun activities make it less scary for kids and make learning what to do fun.

I have been a funder of KKFSF for the past 7 years. The work the foundation does to educate children, and adults, on fire safety is engaging, highly relevant, and has led to lives saved. While small, the organization is dedicated to, and focused on creating outcomes that matter and delivering on their promises. One of the primary reasons for this is the passion of the founder, Dayna Hilton, for the mission. If you want to support a small organization doing great work, then I highly recommend KKFSF.

Hi,
We have been supporters of Molly, Boden and Dayna's for the last 3 years.

We have been very impressed by all of the hard work Dayna and Molly do to educate and help keep kids safe around the world concerning fire saftey.

We keep donating to Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation every year and when ever we have spare funds.

We love supporting their very important and special effort to keep KKFSF helping with the education of kids around the world.

We also love supporting Molly with her health condition by donating funds to help Molly receive her special diet and supplements to keep Molly healthy to continue her very special work.

We absolutely love Molly, Boden and Dayna and are so thankful for all of their fantastic endeavours and adventures into all of our local communities to provide very needed awareness and to save children and their families in times of crisis.

Much love
The Frasers

This charity is amazing because of the Executive Director and beautiful, intelligent dogs who have helped Dayna Hilton over the years. Dana and her current dog, Molly, teach children fire safety and literally save lives. Young children are so excited and enthralled with Molly and the special things she can do, such as crawling low to escape fire, testing fire alarms and creating escape plans so families are prepared, in case of fire. Dayna and Molly Skype their fire safety program with children all over the world.

This is a small non-profit where every dollar essentially goes into the stated mission - to educate kids about fire safety. Dayna, the founder, is incredibly passionate and devotes all of her energy to the organization's work and mission.
