Simulated smoke, heated doors and a renovated interior will help Chicago-area students and seniors learn about and prevent fires at the Chicago Fire Department’s overhauled ‘Survive Alive House’ on the Near West Side.
The Survive Alive House, located in the department’s public education center at 1010 S. Clinton Ave., is a staged home where fire conditions are simulated and department employees teach people how to respond in an emergency. Complete with a living room, kitchen and bedrooms, the house is meant to be as realistic as possible.
