Fire Safety

In October, we worked on the Home Fire Safety badge.  We covered: what to do if you catch on fire (Stop, Drop & Roll), why you should never play with matches, lighters or other fire sources, having a fire escape plan at home and finding 2 exits out of every room, candle safety, and types of fire extinguishers and their uses.  We played a game where we put a piece of felt "fire" on the child, then they had to stop, drop and roll to get the "fire" off.  The children had a lot of fun with it!

 

We learned in a fire department video, that when you stop, drop and roll, you should also cover your face!

October 2011 - Fire Safety

This month we studied Fire Safety.  During our first meeting, we talked about how to make a home fire escape plan.  We discussed different issues and dangers that may arise if a fire breaks out in your home. 

The children also worked on coloring in Christmas cards which we will take to the nursing home in December to hand out to the residents.

Our second meeting was a field trip!  One of our club families have a dad and oldest brother who are both volunteers for their local fire company.  They were gracious enough to give us a tour of the fire station as well as demonstrate smoke alarm safety and answer all the questions we could come up with about being a fireman!

The children really enjoyed trying on all the gear!

But the best part, by far, was climbing in and out and all over those big red trucks!!!

A special thanks to Mr. B and Channing, our brave volunteers!

Thank you for all you do!

Our second year!

Tonight we had our first meeting of the new year!  Praise God for all He did through us and among us last year.  We are looking forward to another great one. 
For anyone who missed tonight's meeting, make sure to be there next time!  Our first skill of the year will be:  REST HOME, followed by FIRE SAFETY
