Fire safety talk

Today we had a fire safety man who came into year 1. He spoke to the children about smoke alarms, the importance of wearing a seatbelt, not touching hot pans and what to do if there is a fire in your house.

He told us that fire needs three things to start

We should always keep doors shut at night as it will slow fires down.


We learnt that if there is a fire the smoke alarm will make a loud beeping sound then you must shout fire! Next you must get out of the house quickly and you must not go back for ANYTHING! Once you are out you must stay out and call 999.

The fire engines will arrive very quickly. Did you know that firemen only have 4 minutes to get to the firestation and 30 seconds to get changed. In year 1 we practised getting dressed in firemen outfits, it was very hard to get dressed so fast.

Another important thing we learnt was that you must never touch matches or lighters.

The fire safety man taught us this saying:
"Matches, lighters never touch, they can hurt you very much"
