Fire Wise

Today five fire fighters came to visit us at school. They told us about the danger of fires and how fire fighters can help us. We learnt that when the room gets filled with smoke it gets very dark. The smoke is bad for us because we can't breath. You have to "get down, get low and get out". If the door feels hot you have to get out a window and go to the safe meeting place outside, where your family will be waiting. The fire fighters will come with their special clothes and breathing gear and put out the fire. 
They said it was important to have smoke alarms in your house and you should check them regularly to make sure the battery is not flat. The one they brought with them today had a flat battery!
We went out on the grass to practice crawling under the smoke with our noses to the grass. They said we had to get green noses!
