3. Cool a Burn
4. Two Ways Out/Exit Signs
5. A Special Meeting Place
6. Fire Drill Practice

8. Emergency 911
Students learn how to respond correctly when calling 911
with their name, address, and phone number.

9. Do You Have A Smoke Detector?
10. Our Friend the Fire Fighter


Our fire fighters come to our school to visit frequently
for assemblies and other fun days.
First Grade classes will visit the Fire Station in October.




Here are some Fire Safety tips from the
United States Fire Safety Administration.

Make sure everyone in your family knows and practices escape routes from every room in your home.
Remember to escape first, know how to notify the fire department, and when to call for help.
Teach your family to stop, drop to the ground and roll if their clothes catch fire.
Designate a meeting place outside. Try to make it a location away from your home, but not necessarily across the street.
Teach your family to never re-enter a burning building.



Firefighter Song
(tune: I'm a Little Teapot)

I'm a little firefighter on the go.
Here is my helmet
Here is my hose.
When I see a fire,
Hear me shout:
"Turn on the water
and put the fire out!"
Shhhhhhhh!

Fire

Fire can be helpful when
handled with care.
But fire and children do not
make a pair!
So don't play with matches
Or anything hot.
Adults may use fire,
But children should not.
~ Paula Peck

Five Little Firefighters

Five little firefighters all in a row,
The first one said, "I have to go."
The second one said, "Smoke is in the air."
The third one said, "I'll be there."
The fourth one said, "Get the pail."
The fifth one said, "Ring the bell."
Then they climbed the ladder onto the roof.
They hosed the water and
the fire went "Poof!"

Down at the Firehouse
by Jean Warren
(tune: Down by the Station)


Down at the firehouse
Early in the morning,
You can see our clothes
Hanging in a row.
When there is a fire,
We can dress real fast.
Boots, jackets, hats, gloves,
Off we go!

911 Rap

I know a number that is really hot.
It's only for people in a hot, hot spot.
If you see a fire, If you see a crime,
The number is the same every single time.
This very special number is never for fun.
This very special number is 911.

Stop, Drop, and Roll
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle)

What do you do when your clothes catch fire?
Three simple steps to put out the fire.
STOP where you are,
Don't run, Don't run
DROP to the ground, and ROLL all around.
What do you do when your clothes catch fire?
Three simple steps to put out the fire.

Fire Drill

Did you ever have a fire drill?
We had one today.
Our teacher told us what to do
So we would be O.K.

There really was no fire at all.
It only was a drill.
We walked out to the schoolyard
And stood there very still.

We could not talk or run or play
Until the drill was through.
Now, if there really is a fire
We'll know just what to do.

~Sharon Siegalman


Fire Smart

"Fire! Fire!"
Someone shouts.
What should you do?
Get out! Get out!

Smoke will go up,
So drop to the floor.
Use your hands and knees
To crawl to the door.

Outside, remember
The place you agreed
To meet with the rest
Of your family.

~Marie Cecchini
