October is Fire Safety month. Fire Safety friends came to school to teach students about fire safety. Sparky the Dalmation and Smokey Bear were a huge hit.
The children learned that 9-1-1 is a tool not a toy. The students also learned that if they find matches, they should not touch them, but tell an adult. Did you know that if your clothes catch on fire that you should, "Stop, Drop and Roll?" The firemen told students that they should never go back in a burning building once they leave. Our Fire Safety friends even asked students to make a plan with their families, showing an escape route and meeting place, just in case their homes were ever to catch on fire.
Smokey the Bear took time to shake our hands.
A Desoto City Fireman dressed in his gear for us, to demonstrate there is just a man under all of that scary equipment.
The Forestry Department brought their bulldozer to share.
The firemen were trying to make us a rainbow, but the sun hid behind the clouds. They sprayed 500 gallons of water into the air for us. We could feel the mist from the spray on our faces. What an awesome ending for a morning filled with learning.
