FIREMEN CAME TO VISIT US AT R.O.E!

We had fireman Chris and fireman Mike from the Clay County Fire and Safety Department come out to teach us the importance of fire safety. Since this was fire safety week at school this week we were all geared up to have them come and talk to us. They taught us that it is important to know all the names of our family members that we live with. Also we should know our address, phone number, where we should meet our families when/if there is a fire in our homes outside far and safe from the fire, and to make sure we check our smoke detectors once an month and the batteries once per year, and last but not least how and when to dial/call 911.

Some of the safety issues that are involved in a fire no matter where you are is to 1st have working detectors in your home, know exactly how your detector sounds, listen at all times if you ever hear the snoke detector going off and if you do find the safest and fastest way out of your home and get far away and to your families safe spot to meet. If you were in a fire and your clothes caught on fire then you should always do the following: "STOP, DROP, AND ROLL" then try to get out as safe and fast as you can. If you are living in a 2 story home and you are upstairs and you hear a smoke detector go off then sometimes you might have to go out a window. In that case make sure you have climbing ropes or folding ladders to climb safely down to the ground and then get to your families safe spot as quickly and safe as you can.

Fire Safety is VERY important! Please take this time to talk to your family about fire safety in your home and find a safe spot outside where everyone can meet incase there was ever a fire in your home. Make sure they know ALL of their contact information and most importantly Rember to alway practice cause "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT"!
