It All Started With a Dream!

In 2007, Brad Ballard, CEO of Catalystic Media Group LLC, recognized the inadequate methods being used to teach fire safety in both public and private schools. Using the newest in software technology, he developed an interactive CD product designed for children, Kindergarten through 6th grade.

The company, FireFacts.org, was specifically created for the development and production of this interactive fire safety learning tool.

Reason for the Company:

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2000, for children between the ages of 1 and 9, deaths from fire and burns were second only to those from motor vehicle injury.

Business Philosophy:

The company’s philosophy stems directly from the company’s Mission Statement: to positively change the lives of those with whom we have direct contact (i.e. children and their families) and to establish a level of excellence never achieved in educational fire safety materials, with a direct result being the mitigation of accidents and bodily harm.

Mission Statement:

We believe these two statements to be true:

“Children are the world’s most valuable resource
and it’s best hope for the future.” **

And secondly,

“There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less
than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.” **

Our mission is to express, through actions equal and appropriate to the value of every child, these beliefs in everything we strive to achieve, to establish a level of excellence never before attempted in interactive educational materials, and to establish a national standard for fire safety, prevention and awareness education.

** Quote, John F Kennedy, 35th American President (1961-1963)
