Fireman Gerard Visits P5👨‍🚒🔥🚒

Yesterday we had a visit from a local fireman! 👨‍🚒
This was a very informative talk that taught us not only about the importance of firework safety, but also about how to keep safe in our own homes. 🏠🎇

Some of the things we were taught about include:
Smoke alarm-
Do you have a smoke alarm?
Where is it placed in your house?
How often should you test it?
You should test your fire alarm every week- 'Test it Tuesday'.
It should be placed near a door so you can find an exit if there is smoke. 

Plans-
Who is in the house?
Where is the escape route?
When we get out, who do we ring?
Do we know our address?
Having a plan in place ensures everyone is safe and knows exactly what to do in the event of a fire. 

Bedtime Routine-
Make sure you have a routine to check the house before you sleep. 

The boys and girls asked some brilliant questions too, including, 'how many people are in your team?', 'how many people fit in a fire engine?' and 'what should we do if we are trapped in a room?'

Thank you so much to Gerard for visiting us! ⭐
