Part one of Fire Safety Assembly WARNING: THIS IS FIRE RULES!

 

Today, a trained fire person came to our school to teach us about fire safety. We went to the library. Only Ms. Cliff, Ms. Foster, and Ms. Ng went to the Assembly. First, he taught us about four different kinds of smoke alarms/detectors. If you recognize what type of smoke alarm/detector, you still can’t know what sound it is going to make. Some people put the battery in the wrong way so that the alarm will stay quiet. When they are bathing, listening to music, or for other reasons they won’t be distracted. The yellow sticker will block you from putting the battery in wrong place. If you push hard it will go in. But it won’t make sound if the house is on fire because it is inserted backwards. The man told us that we must have at least one smoke alarm/detector on each level of your house. You have to at least change your smoke alarm/detector every 8-10 years or else your smoke alarm/detector won’t work. TEST YOUR FIRE ALARM BY PRESSING THE TEST BOTTON OF THE SMOKE ALARM/DETECTOR AT LEAST ONE TIME ONE MONTH. ALSO BY LIGHTNING A CANDLE AND BLOW IT OF NEAR A SMOKE ALARM/DETECTOR AND THE SMOKE WILL GO UP. THE ALARM/DETECTOR WILL RING. TRY THIS ABOUT 7-10 TIMES PER MONTH.


Door feeling warm or cold:

If you are in your bedroom and you hear the fire smoke alarm/detector, feel the bedroom door. Start from feeling with your back of your hand not your palm because it is less sensitive. Feel the door from bottom to top. Once you feel it warm stop. If you continue to touch it, it might burn your hand. If you don’t feel any warm, feel the doorknob. Just touch it quickly. If you don’t your hand will burn. If the doorknob is warm don’t open the door. Breathe through clean air in the open window and call for help. Don’t squeak because the people can’t know what you are saying.
