Firewise

We had Stu from Firewise talking to our junior students about fire safety...

    

Students learned:

• If they find a lighter or matches, they should give it to an adult and should not play with it
• Candles must be secure. Put it up high, not near curtains
• Once curtains catches fire, the fire spreads quickly

• Black thick smoke will fill the room / house
• Get down low, so they are away from the smoke
• When there is a fire: 'Get down, get low, get out fast' and shout: "fire, fire, fire!" on your way out

Some important things to remember...

• A safe place to go to could be a letter box or cowshed. Talk to your parents about where your safe place is
• You need two ways out of your bedroom... a window & door
• If the fire is outside the door, shut the door and get out the window
• If you have to check the door when it is closed, feel with the back of your hand
• Keep away from matches, lighters and candles
