TIME TO PLAY AND PRACTICE!
Locate a meeting spot outside of your house, go there and explain this is where we all meet. Next, find the smoke detectors in your home. Press the button to hear what is sounds like. Practice several fire drills and have your child in different rooms each time and meet at the spot outside. After, go to the backyard and have your child practice Stop, Drop, and Roll.
Call Euclid Fire Department and ask if you can visit a fire station near you to meet a firefighter and see the firetruck. Have your child explain to the firefighter what was learned that day.
Be Careful! Never play with fire. Never play around a fire or a flame. If there is lots of smoke in your house, crawl on the floor to escape. Call 9-1-1 after you are at your family meeting spot.
