We spent the week learning how to be safe in case we are ever involved in a fire.  Some things we practiced at school, but some things really need to be discussed and practiced at home.  For homework this weekend...practice your family's fire drill plan, set up a place to meet when everyone gets out of the house,  find the 2 ways out of every room, practice "stop, drop, and roll", ask your favorite "K" Kid how to move in a smoke-filled room and how to test if a door has fire on the other side, test the smoke detectors, and enjoy the pictures of our fire safety activities...

Oh, no!! A house is on fire call 911!
Here come the fire fighters...
	...They're prepared!
The fire fighters are well-equipped with hoses (and water), the jaws of life, axes, flashlights, and walkie-talkies.
	Here's a real firetruck!
We got to see all of the tools.	We got to climb into the fire truck.
And the fire fighters demonstrated how they put on their gear and what it sounds like when they talk with their funny mask on so we wouldn't be scared if they ever had to rescue us.  Thank you to Bellevue Volunteer Fire Departments for taking time to teach about fire safety, and for turning on the lights and sirens for us!!
