Fire Safety: How to Stay Safe

If there is a fire in my home, the smoke alarm may start to make a loud beeping noise.

When the smoke alarm sounds, it may be loud and hurt my ears.

If I hear the smoke alarm, I need to go outside and wait for my parents.

If I am in a room, I should touch my door with the back of my hand to make sure it is cool before I open it.

I should leave my things in my room.

I should stay low under the smoke. This means I might need to crawl on the floor.

I should go outside quickly and try to stay calm.

My family might have a fire safety plan. I should follow the instructions of the fire safety plan.

I should wait for my family outside and stay in one place. I should always meet my family in the same place.

A fire truck will come and the siren will be loud. I can cover my ears.

I should not go back inside my house until firefighters tell me it is safe.

The firefighters will use their tools and water to put out the fire.

I must listen to what the firefighter tells me. The firefighters want to keep me safe.

The firefighters will be wearing bulky clothing, thick gloves, and a helmet. They will also wear a facemask.

They will sound like Darth Vader if they are wearing their face mask. I must listen closely to what the firefighters say.
