On Friday we had the privelige to have 4 special guests come and visit our school there were firefighters yayyyyyyyyyyyy very exciting they taught us how to be firewise how do you be fires.They told us when there is a fire scream FIRE,FIRE,FIRE until your family gets up then GET DOWN,GET LOW,GET OUT.They also told us that fires can be caused by smokes,unattended cooking,heaters,fires(in the fireplace),electric blankets,fire works and many more.To be firewise they said to cheeck your fire alarms every month and if you test them and they sound like a cricket that means there flat.there are 3,000 fires in newzealand a year that is caused by manythings.Fires can burn the house in an incredable speed about 2 minutes your rooms gone 9 minutes your hole house is gone.The fire fighters showed us these claw things that open cars when a crash happens how cool is that, they stretch out to about 2 meters long.do you know what the first thing you do when you exit your house and find a safe place to stay put????? yes correct its call 111 when you call your not asking for police are you have to ask for the firefighters.Thanks guys for visiting it was very fun:)Remember stay firewise(and check your smoke alarms)
