Firefighter visit

Some members of the district Fire Department visited the K classes today for some lessons in fire safety.  Some topics included:

• Stop Drop and Roll if your clothes are on fire
• Never play with matches or lighters - give to parents or a grown-up if you find them
• Crawl on the ground in a fire to avoid inhaling smoke
• Have a fire safety plan at home that includes a meeting spot
• 911
• If you can't exit your room in a fire, go to the window and call out for help as loud as you can

The firefighters also suited up so the children could see them in full firefighting gear.  They were asked to not be afraid if they ever see a firefighter crawling around a burning house, and to NOT ever hide during a fire.  Instead they should stay low, remain visible, and call out for help as much as possible.

Hope this helps you have some discussions around fire safety with you child tonight :-)
