Firewise

Firewise We have been learning the Firewise programme. We have learnt how to be safe around tools such as matches and lighters. We have learnt how to act safely and get out of a building when there may be a fire. We have learnt why we need to know the safe escape plans for our home and school, our address and phone number.

Congratulations to these children! They are Firewise ! To show they are firewise the children had to:
 * share their family's escape plan
 * show us their safe meeting place
 * recite their phone number, address and nearest street (just like they would have to if ringing 111)

We went to the **__Havelock North Fire Station__**. We got to see the protective clothing they wear and both the old and new fire truck! We were very lucky and got to hold the water hose and sit in the fire truck! media type="custom" key="10698166"
