FIRE PREVENTION

FIRE PREVENTION

• WHEN FIRE STRIKES
• GET OUT
• AND
• STAY OUT!

• The objective is to provide kids with the basic
  knowledge of fire prevention and how to use it.
  People die more in fires than any other natural
  disasters. Children yearly start close to
  100,000 fires that cause damage.

Age group kindergarten and first grade with the
help of eighth graders.

• Today the eighth graders will pair with the
  kindergarteners/first graders to inform them
  about fire prevention with the information
  provided. They will read the slides to them and
  go through the quiz and everything else with
  them. This will not only inform the younger
  kids, but also help the older kids to learn how
  to use power point.

SMOKE ALARMS

• Smoke alarms notify you when smoke is sensed,
  even if you dont actually see fire.

A smoke alarm is a tool that sits on the ceiling.
When a fire occurs it sends off a loud beeping
noise.

• Smoke alarms should be place near bedrooms
• Test the sound monthly

9-1-1

• As soon as you hear the smoke alarm, grab the
  phone and dial 9-1-1!

ESCAPE PLAN

• Its a proven fact that kids tend to hide in the
  occurrence of a fire, however it is VERY
  IMPORTANT to get out FAST!

• Escape plans should hopefully get you out of your
  home quickly and safely. In case if one way of
  your plan is blocked, it is for your benefit to
  have an alternative route.

10
Making a plan is easy!

• Find two exits for each room in your home
• Doors are recommended to be used first
• Feel the door for heat. If the door is hot, use
  the alternative route
• Due to high temperatures, stay low to the ground
• Safely meet your family in a designated area
• Call 9-1-1 if the situation is safe
• If you are stuck, hang something out of the
  window so firemen can see you

STOP, DROP, AND ROLL

  doing, drop on the floor, and roll to put out the
  flames.
