Fire Safety...

Today we had a fire officer named Matt come to talk to us about fire safety. Here's what we learnt...

• You need a smoke detector in every bedroom and hall.
• Fire is good, don't make it bad!
• If you like playing with matches and you think it's cool, it really isn't.
• Matches are not a toy. They are a tool for adults.
• Buy a smoke detector with batteries that last ten years.
• Discuss a safe meeting place with your family.
• If the smoke detector beeps or chirps, then the battery is low. You can also test this by pressing the test button.
• A big fire is not necessarily more dangerous than a small one.
• Keep away from sparks that might catch your clothes and cause a fire.
• Your family should all know where to go when there is a fire.
• Good fire is for cooking and birthday cakes. Bad fires are when they get out of control.
• Turn things like the television off at night.

We're looking forward to learning more about fire safety next year.
