Officer Matt's Firewise Visit

It was so enjoyable and interesting having Fireman Matt here today. He reminded us of the following important fire safety ideas -

• Smoke is fire
• There are good fires and bad fires
• We need to get down, get low, get out fast!
• We need to practise our fire safety plan at home and that includes getting out of windows by ourselves
• We need to get to the safe meeting place (our mail box) as quickly as possible
• We need to have a smoke alarm in every bedroom, the living room and the hallway
• The new smoke alarms can talk to each other and go off together

Fireman Matt showed us a video of a candle that sets the house alight in just a few minutes. He read us a book about Effie who gets out of her house by herself when a fire started. He showed us different kinds of smoke alarms and he spoke about ways we can keep safe and firewise.
