Firefighters Visit 4K

What an exciting morning!! The NorthShore firefighters popped in for a visit. The children learned many important fire safety tips:

  • DON'T play with matches or lighters!
  • Check smoke detectors once a month and change the batteries when the clocks move forward or back.
  • If your clothes start on fire... STOP, DROP, & ROLL!
  • Have a family meeting and choose a "meeting place" in the case of evacuation from a burning house.
  • Call 9-1-1 in the cases of emergency!
  • Don't hide if you are stuck in a fire. Yell for the firefighter!!
It was so fun to watch the big firefighter get dressed into all his firefighting gear. It weighs more than the kids... over 50 pounds with a full oxygen tank. Yikes!!

(Mrs. Flynn thinks we should try this technique with our snow gear...snowpants are already attached over the boots. Jump in and pull up the pants!  Poof! Done!!)

 The oxygen tank is sooooo heavy and makes funny noises!

 The mask makes the firefighter sound really strange.
We learned the air feeds a fire, so if your clothes are on fire... DON'T run... Stop, Drop, and Roll!
 Don't forget to cover your face!
The firefighter looks a little scary when he is crawling around, but we learned that we shouldn't be afraid because he will help us get out of a fire safely.


Thank you firefighters!!
