Yesterday we were visited by Congleton Fire Service to teach us about Fire Safety. Ashton modelled the safety gear that fire fighters use.

We were taught that we need working smoke alarms on all levels in our home; close all doors at night and the importance of having a Fire Saction Plan. We were also advised to turn all electical items off; tidy away anything on the floor and take a mobile phone to bed.

Fire Action Plan 1

• check the door for heat
• go to your parents room
• wake others up
• go straight outside
• call 999

Fire Action Plan 2

If there is a block escape route:

• check the door for heat
• go to your parents’ room
• crawl low
• escape through the window

Fire Action Plan 3

• check your bedroom door for heat, if it is hot:
• block gaps around the door
• shout out of the window

After this, we went in to the smoke tent so that we could experience how it is better to crawl under the smoke. It was difficult to see when we were stood up but clearer when we we low to the floor.
