First Graders learn about Fire Safety

10.9.09
The First Graders braved the cold weather to go outside Friday morning and learn about the fire trucks. Thank you to Fire Chief Maynard for bringing some of his crew and the trucks up to school! In the new gym we observed how the infrared camera works in the dark as a way to locate people who are trapped inside a dark burning room. The children were treated with a fire safety hat, pencil, bracelet, and window sticker. Thank you Wakefield Fire Department! I hope your child demonstrated the stop, drop and roll technique for you. The children also enjoyed dressing up as a fireman this past week in the real gear. Remember to have an escape plan at home and practice how to get out in case there is a fire. Designate a meeting place outside where you would all meet. Here is a website that your child will enjoy playing at home. http://sparky.org/firetruck/index.htm
