Firemen and other Community Helpers

October is Fire Prevention Month! Whether you visit a fire station, have firemen come to your school, or show a video about fire safety, make sure you address these simple points with your students: 

  1. Don’t play with matches or fire. 
  2. Stop, drop, and roll. 
  3. Crawl under the smoke.
  4. Feel the door before opening it. If it’s hot, don’t open it. 
  5. Don’t hide from the firemen.
  6. Go outside quickly if there is a fire.
  7. Have a meeting place outside.
  8. Stay out. Don’t go back into a burning building.
  9. Learn your address and phone number.
  10. Dial 9-1-1 only if there is an emergency.

Although I visit the firestation in October, I personally like to do my community helper thematic unit in March. No matter the month, be sure to bring the community into your classroom. Kids love learning more about their great community and those who serve.
