Today, G-3 had a visit from Delaware City's Fire Company! The children learned many important fire safety tips that you can discuss at home! The children learned the emergency number (9-1-1), the importance of knowing your phone number and address, that you need to change the batteries in your smoke detector two times a year, that you need two exits out of your house, and that you should have a "special meeting place" (something that never moves and will always be there - such as a tree or mailbox) to go to in case there is a fire in your house! The children also learned where there is "bad air" and "good air", and the importance of crawling under the smoke to get to safety. Finally, the children saw what Firefighter Bill looked like all dressed up, and even though they might look or sound a little scary, the children learned never to run or hide from a fire fighter in an emergency. The children had a blast sitting in the fire truck and learned a lot! I hope you will find these tips helpful when speaking to your child over the next few days about fire safety!
