Fire Safety Top Tips

On Monday two firemen came to speak to us about fire safety. They explained to us how to prevent fires, stop fires safely and escape in an emergency. Here are our top tips compiled by Amy Shannon in 4th Class:

1. You should always have a working smoke alarm in your hallways or in each room.
2. Never throw water on a fire started by electrical appliances because it will make the fire ten times worse.
3. Check your smoke alarm once a week.
4. Never leave a lighting candle near curtains, soft furnishings, books or papers.
5. Always keep your hallway free from obstacles in case you need to leave in an emergency.
6. If there is a fire in your house get out and stay out and call the fire and rescue service.
7. There should be only one plug inserted into a socket.
8. Saucepan handles should not be facing out because they could be tipped accidentally over by small children.
9. Always have an escape plan.
10. Always have a spark guard in front of an open fire.
