mr. firefighter

The children were fascinated with having a real firefighter visit our class. We were thrilled to have a preschoolers dad come and visit our class. He is a firefighter for Sedgwick County, but lives in Hesston. 

The children were very attentive and 

remembered all of the things he taught us: 

• If your clothes catch on fire, stop - drop - and roll! (and cover your face) 
• Don't touch matches or lighters (tell an adult) 
• Make a safety plan at home (decide where you will meet outside of your house) 
• Check smoke detectors 
• Check a door to feel if it's hot (backside of your hand), and 
• Call 911 if someone is hurt or needs help!!

The firefighter put on his gear and he sounded and looked kind of funny, but he was still a person underneath all of that stuff. 

High-fives for the firefighter!!
