Using Scenario-Based Role Play Games in the Classroom: Introducing the Hourglass Lake Fire Challenge

Emergency managers and fire departments often use scenarios, or “table-top” exercises to plan out evacuation and emergency response plans. While students are used to participating in fire drills, they may never understand the systems in place to protect and respond to fires. Learn how to create a place-based scenario using HEART Force’s redesigned wildfire response game, the Hourglass Lake Fire Challenge, to engage students with a fun, competitive lesson to launch your unit on wildfire and natural hazard resilience.
