The
Fire Safety House reaches thousands of 3rd
grade students each year from Abilene and the Big
Country. The FSH is now located at Safety City in
Abilene. The children are able to learn first hand about
the basics of fire safety. Stop drop and roll,
Don't play with matches, stay low and go, and much
more.
The
"living room" is where the students
watch a fire safety video. Part of the movie is a
cartoon and can help kids learn some safety tips.
The
"kitchen" is like most real kitchens. It
has a sink, stove, cabinets, phone, etc. Kitchens
and cooking can be good things, but can also be
dangerous. We talk about ways to be safe when
cooking.
In the
"bedroom" or "smoke room" we
talk about what to do in case of a fire, and how
to get out safely. At the end, we fill the room
with artificial smoke and the kids practice the
fire drill we talked about.
