About FIRE! Science & Safety Exhibit
"Apartment #911 Casa Del Fuego"
Casa del Fuego appears to be a modest apartment building, like many others found in L.A. However, Apartment 911 is really a training site for budding fire danger detectives.
As visitors explore the apartment’s rooms, they will discover that there are more than 30 things here that might ignite a fire or cause a burn. The idea is to find each one and understand what to do to prevent a fire and also what to do if one happens.
