What we know about being Firewise

What we have learnt about being Firewise

• Make sure  candles do not have things by them that can catch on fire
• Put  candles out
• Stay away  form hot fires and heaters.  Elyse said, "1 meter from the heater."
• No running where someone is cooking like the kitchen or barbecue.
• Never leave cooking alone.  Don't ask someone who is cooking to leave the kitchen to help me.  A fire could start. 
• Don't  play  with matches or lighters  they  are tools.
• Give matches and lighters to adults if we find them.
• We  have  to crawl out if smoke is in the room fast- Get down, get low, get out FAST
• We have to shout, "Fire, fire."
• Worry about yourself getting out.  Not others
• Practice getting out of the house
• Check our smoke alarms work
• Meet at the safe place (the gate or the letter box).
• Stay and wait for the firefighters.  Firefighters have special gear to protect them from hot fire and smoke.
• Never go back inside.  Wait until the firefighters say it is safe.

Fire needs air (oxygen)

This experiment shows us that fire needs air to keep burning.

If a fire is not in the room we are in, we can close a door to help slow the fire down while we get out of the room another way.
