Firefighters

We had a visit from some North Vancouver firefighters today.  It was a very exciting visit!  These are some of the things we learned about:


  • tell an adult if you find a lighter or matches
  • stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch on fire.  Roll until the fire is out!
  • crawl to safety UNDER the smoke when in a burning structure
  • have a meeting place outside to go to after escaping a fire
  • never go back inside a burning building
  • do not hide from firefighters when they come to rescue you - they demonstrated what they look like with their gear on
We also got a tour of the fire truck and even went inside!  Ask you child if they remember the magic word that made the ladder come down ;-)  

The firefighters insisted that all children speak to their parents tonight about fire safety at home, and in particular, having a safe meeting spot outside!
