Grade 3 students at Dr. A.R. Lord and other elementary schools across Vancouver learn about fire prevention, home fire safety, and emergency preparedness. The Fire and Life Safety House which is a portable classroom on wheels, came to visit the school on January 29th. Fireman Henry discussed various fire issues and safety with the kids, they watched a video and had the chance to practice evacuating the fire house. Review the evacuation plans with your family and child in case of a fire:
1 Don't Panic or hide
2 Roll off the bed
3 Crawl to the door
4 Feel the door
5 If it's not hot, use escape route 1 (eg.door)
6 If it's hot, use escape route 2 (window)
7 Don't go back in for anything
8 Meet in a special spot our front
9 Do a head count
10 Call 911
Also ensure your child knows their address when calling 911
