And put out all the flames.

Went back to bed again.

Four busy firefighters could not retire
Because they might have to put out a fire.
The first one rang a big brass bell.
The second one said, ‘It’s the Grand Hotel!’
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!’
The red fire truck sped on to the fire,
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.

Never, never play with matches
If you do, if you do,
You might burn your fingers, you might burn your fingers.
That won’t do.

You might burn your house down, you might burn your house down.
That won’t do.

Never, never play with matches. 
If you do, if you do,
You might burn your clothes,
You might burn your clothes,
That won’t do!  That won’t do!

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.
