We learned that you GET OUT as quickly as possible. You should stay as low to the ground as you can and always feel closed doors before you open them. For homework, students and their families came up with a fire escape plan for their homes.
After you're safely outside, you need to call 911 and the dispatcher will send emergency teams to your house. But... you have to know your address to be able to do this! I am ecstatic to report that every single student in our class made it into the Fire Safety Club by telling me their address from memory!
Firefighters will be dispatched to your home to put the fire out. They wear fireproof gear and use specialized equipment so they stay safe while inside fires. On Thursday, Captain Matt Raymond of the Springfield Fire Department came by with all of his gear! He suited up so we would know what a firefighter would look, sound, and feel like. It was a great experience!
We had a fantastic week and learned so much! Next up... the man credited with discovering our country and the reason we had yesterday off - Christopher Columbus!
