Fire Safety Tips How to Make Sure the Only Fire is on the Inside! Matches Don't play with matches and lighters. If you see matches or a lighter where you can reach them, don't touch them. Go tell a grown up right away. Smoke Detectors Ask your parents to install smoke detectors on every floor and in the sleeping areas of your home. Smoke detectors can save lives. Ask your parents to show you where each one is. Remind your parents to test your smoke detectors every month. Make sure everyone in your family is familiar with its piercing sound. Teach them that this sound means danger, and they must escape quickly When your parents change the time on your clocks for Daylight Savings, ask them to change your smoke alarm batteries. Give it fresh batteries and your smoke alarm will stay awake and watch for fire while you are sleeping. In Case of Fire To escape during a fire; Fall & Crawl. It is easier to breath in a fire if you stay low while getting out. DON'T HIDE, GO OUTSIDE! Fires are scary, but you should NEVER hide in closets or under beds when there is a fire.

Use the back of your hand to test if a door is hot before you open it. If it is hot, try to use another way out.

If your clothes are on fire; Stop, Drop, and Roll until the fire is out. Shout for help, but don't run. Running makes fire burn faster.

Choose a meeting place outside, such as the field, as in normal fire drills. Do a head count so you will know that everyone has gotten out safely NEVER go back into the theatre for any reason. If someone is missing, tell the firefighters, who are trained and prepared. YOU ARE NOT. Keep fire extinguishers at the ready…only for a responsible adult! AGAIN…NOT YOU. •Know your local emergency number. •Keep emergency numbers in view and on every telephone in the theatre. •If there is a fire, have one person only, leave your meeting place and call the fire department from the school phones. •Better yet, use a mobile. If you remember nothing else….
