----------------------------------------------------
Brian Wilson was so excited, he could hardly wait to see the firefighters and fire engines.
Brian and his class from Kate Smith Elementary School are visiting
the Sparks, Nevada Fire Station #1 today.
"Now class," said Mrs. Olsen, "I know you're excited, but remember to pay close attention.
Fire prevention and fire safety are very important.
If you are ever in a fire, they could help save your life."

Brian couldn't believe his eyes.
Firefighter Bob and Chief Warren came to greet the children at the door.
"Welcome to the Sparks, Nevada Fire Station #1, boys and girls," said Firefighter Bob.
"We have a lot of exciting things to show you and I'm going to teach you some ways
to stay safe when it comes to fire.

----------------------------------------------------
Firefighter Bob brought the class to see the many different fire trucks.
"Wow, this is great!" said Brian as he gazed at all the different fire engines.
There were old ones, new ones, red ones, and yellow ones.
There was even a fire truck from the 1920's that was part of their museum.
"Michael, Look!" said Brian.
"This fire truck is called a hook-and-ladder truck.
Firefighters use this one when fighting fires in tall buildings."

Brian carefully watched as Firefighter Bob
showed the class the inside of a real fire engine.
"Brian, would you and Michael like to be the first to sit inside?"
With big smiles, they jumped inside the cab and pretended
they were real firefighters, steering the big engine down the street.

----------------------------------------------------
Next, everyone followed Firefighter Bob to the room
with the coats, hats, boots and special pants just for firefighters.
"Brian, would you be my helper and try on my coat and hat?"
asked Firefighter Bob.
Brian couldn't believe his luck. "Yes, sir!"

As Firefighter Bob helped Brian put on the coat and hat,
he said to the class, "Our clothes are made of special material
that won't burn, but unfortunately, your clothes will."
"You should never run if your clothes catch on fire. Instead, STOP where you are,
DROP to the ground, and ROLL around until the fire goes out."
"Does anyone remember what we call this?"
The class was so sure of the answer that everyone said it at the same time,
"STOP, DROP AND ROLL!"
15
----------------------------------------------------
After that, Firefighter Bob pulled out a box of matches and a lighter,
and said, "Boys and girls, you should NEVER play with matches or fire, EVER!
You could start a fire by accident."
"Who know what you should do if you find matches or lighters?"
Brian spoke up and asked, "Should we give them to our parents?"
"That's right Brian, you should give them to an adult right away and say,
"Firefighter Bob said to keep these away from children!"

----------------------------------------------------
Then Firefighter Bob said,
"Some objects such as paper and clothing catch fire very easily.
So don't play near gas or electric heaters, stoves or fire places."
"What is this?" Brian asked.
"Firefighter Bob answered, "This is a smoke detector.
If a fire starts while you are asleep, the smoke detector will sound
an alarm and wake you up so that you can safely get out and call 911.
Everyone should have a smoke detector in the family room and in each bedroom."
19
----------------------------------------------------
The class followed Firefighter Bob upstairs to the sleeping area.
"This is where we sleep when we're on duty.
Do you know what this pole is for, Brian?"
Brian smiled and said, "Yes sir!" If the fire alarm goes off during the night,
you can slide down to the room with the coats!"
"That's right, Brian. It also gives us another way out of the room.
You should know at least two ways out of every room in case fire is blocking the door.
If a door is hot, leave through a window or another door."

Brian raised his hand and said,
"I would like to know what to do if I see a lot of smoke, but no fire."
Firefighter Bob said, "Fire and smoke spread very fast and smoke
is a dangerous part of fire and breathing smoke make people sick."
"You should NEVER hide, always crawl low under the smoke and get out quickly.
The air is not as smoky near the floor. We teach everyone to 'Get and Stay Out!',
NEVER go back inside a burning house or building."
23
----------------------------------------------------
Brian's best friend, Michael asked, "What if you live in an apartment building?"
Firefighter Bob said, "You ask very good questions, Michael!"
"Two-story buildings should have signs that say 'Exit' or 'Stairs'.
Here I have a special rope ladder with hooks that fasten onto your
window so that you can climb out if your building is on fire."
"Brian, your parents can get you one to keep under your bed in case of emergencies."

Next, the class followed Firefighter Bob to the kitchen.
"Wow! You guys like to cook?" asked Brian.
"We sure do! We practice safety, too!"
Kitchens have hot stoves that can hurt you.
Never play with the knobs on the stove.
Remember to use cooking mitts so you won't burn your hands."
"Do you see this? This is a fire extinguisher.
If someone accidentally starts a fire while cooking,
we can put it out right away."
27
----------------------------------------------------
Firefighter Bob brought the class to the dispatch room.
"How many of you know how to call 911?"
Brian and Michael raised their hands at the same time.
They smiled at each other and said, "9-1-1!"
Firefighter Bob laughed and agreed,
"Yes, that's right. You dial '911'.
When someone has an emergency or a fire, you dial '911'
and the call rings the dispatcher. The dispatcher then calls
the fire department, the police station, or an ambulance.

----------------------------------------------------
Firefighter Bob then asked the class a question,
"Who knows what a Fire Escape Plan is?"
Brian raised his hand and said, "Is it like a fire drill?"
"Yes, Brian, it is. You and your family should plan
an escape route from your home. Remember to find two ways to
leave each room and choose a place for your family to meet outside."
"Practicing your escape route will help you know where to go during a fire.
But remember, you must NEVER go back into a burning house!"
31
----------------------------------------------------
Firefighter Bob then asked the class,
"Does everyone know their telephone number and street address?"
Brian and Michael raised their hands right away.
Firefighter Bob then said, "Ask your parents to help you learn
your telephone number and your street address if you don't know them.
This is very important in case you need to call 911."
Telephone Number ___-___-____

Finally, it was time to go home. Chief Warren handed each
boy and girl a book and said, "I want you to read this special book
to your whole family. It will help teach them the important
fire prevention and fire safety facts that you learned today.
Then I want you to ask your parents to help plan a fire escape route.
Can you do that?"
"Yes, sir!" chimed Brian and Michael.
They each thanked Chief Warren and Firefighter Bob
for the book and for letting them visit the fire station.
Everyone waved good-bye.
