Fire Safety

Two firemen from Athenry fire station visited 3rd and 4th class. Their names were Gerry and Gordon. They taught us about fire safety and how to make our homes safer. For example not to leave a candle on the window and if some one smokes in the house make sure you empty the ash tray before you go to bed. They also taught us how to “Stop, Drop and Roll”. This would be important to do if you ever caught fire! They showed us lots of posters about cartoon characters who were good and bad at dealing with fire. These helped us to understand more about fire safety. Jason had to demonstrate how to stop, drop and roll!!! They gave us fire safety folders to take home and we all have to make sure we check the fire alarms once every week! It was very interesting and we learned lots about how to make are homes safer.
