Safety Village Turns 35

Thirty-five years ago, a tragic house fire claimed four children’s lives, sparking a community mission to prevent future disasters. What began as a grassroots effort by local parents and the Fort Wayne Fire Department evolved into the iconic Safety Village — a hands-on learning hub where kids experience simulated fires and safety drills. From its humble, dilapidated start to its current state-of-the-art facilities like the Survive Alive House, the village has saved countless lives. Now, with a new pavilion and Science Central replica in the works, this vital safety education center is poised to protect another generation for the next 35 years.
