Have a fire escape plan.
Every family can.
If there’s a fire, get out.
Use your escape route.
Go to a neighbor’s when alone,
Then call 9-1-1 on the phone.
Clothes on fire? Here’s your goal:
First stop, then drop, and roll!

Because they might have to put out a fire.

The third one said, ‘Down the pole we’ll slide.’
The fourth one said, ‘Get ready to ride.’
The siren said, ‘Get out of the way!’
‘We have to put out a fire today!’

As the big yellow flames grew higher and higher.
Swish went the water from the fire-hose spout
And in no time at all the fire was out.

Fire Drill
Original Author: Unknown
Did you ever have a fire drill?
We had one today.
Our teacher told us what to do
So we would be OK
There really was no fire at all.
It only was a drill.
We walked out to the schoolyard.
And stood there very still.
We could not talk or run or play
Until the drill was through.
Now, if there really is a fire,
We know just what to do.
