Our Center has been trained in Fire Safety procedures. Our fire evacuation plan is reviewed with the children and staff on a regular basis. Fire drills are practiced at 60-day intervals in which we evacuate the Center to the designated meeting area. If we would need to evacuate the center beyond our designated meeting area, we will go to the Activities Center on our campus. This evacuation is also practiced on a 60-day interval.
A copy of FUN Academy’s Emergency Operation Plan is revised and sent to the Lycoming Emergency Management Agency and the local fire department annually. If you would like to review the Emergency Operation Plan, please see the director.
