Fire Safety

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!

First, we read books about fire safety.

Next, we brainstormed the things that we would need for our fire safety center.

Making fire fighter jackets.

Making the house

Cool ladder!

Making tools...jaws of life and axes. 

 

 

Clouds of smoke

Here are our flashlights.  They even have an on/off switch!

 

 

Adding the flames and a person screaming for help to the house.

Making the gauges and control panels

Our very own fire hydrant with real water and a "No Parking" sign

The steering wheel really turns!

We read about Dot, the Fire Dog and made Dalmations.

Do you like our fire fighter hats?

Part of our 911 Center was recording information.

Here we are in working as 911 dispatchers.

This is what we recorded...

Fire fighters on their way to the fire.

Working hard to save this house!

Thanks Mrs. Schmeckpeper for sharing this activity and poem about "5 Little Firefighters".

Sydneys' dad is a chemistry teacher.  He talked to us about what fire needs to burn (heat, fuel and oxygen).

He has balloons filled with different kinds of air.  They all made a loud noise when they popped...

but some did more than make a noise!  (He's a trained professional with this activity.  Please don't try this at home!)
