Firefighters teach us to be Firewise!

Today Aaron and Dave the Firefighter talked to us about smoke alarms. They said everyone should have a smoke alarm in their bedroom.



He drew a picture of a house and showed us how the smoke rises and fills the house from the top to the bottom. That is why we have to keep low and get out fast! Sometimes we might go out of the door if the fire or smoke was not blocking our way. We would climb out of the window if the door was blocked. If we couldn't open the window we would smash it with something hard like a drawer, then put a blanket over the cut glass and climb out.



What if we were on the second floor though? Aaron said we should get to the window and shout for help. Hopefully someone would come, if not and it was getting too hot we would have to jump.

Where do we go once we are out? We go to the safe meeting place that mum and dad have told us about.

Lucas and Caleb demonstrated what we do if our clothes are on fire: stop, drop and roll on the ground. That will put the fire out.



We played a game called tools or toys. There was a ball, a truck and a barrel of monkeys: these we decided were all toys. There was a screw driver, matches, a lighter and a candle and these we decided were tools for adults only. We don't play with these!




Aaron showed us his Fire fighter outfit: this is his flash hood and it stops his ears from getting burnt in a fire.


Here Aaron is pulling on his trousers which are attached to special firefighter boots. They have special braces on to stop his pants from falling down.


Here he is putting on his special fire proof jacket.


This is his special mask that is attached to an oxygen tank. It means that Aaron can go into a smoke filled house and still be able to breath.


He wears the helmet to protect his head in case anything falls on him.


These special gloves protect his hands.


Here are two of the stories that were written in class today about the Firefighter's visit:


Well done Harvey; like that you have done a title and used an exclamation mark in your report.

This next one is by Sahara; well done you have done a title too!
