Fire Safety Day
posted February 29th, 2008 by Shannon
Yesterday was Fire Safety Day at our house. We listened to the smoke alarms so we’d know what they sounded like. We practiced leaving the house and going outside. We learned about calling 9-1-1. And we even got to meet some nice firemen who graciously stopped by our house just for Fire Safety Day!
That makes it sound so much calmer than it actually was! Fire Safety Day was not a planned event. Nor was it a calm event. We are all fine. There was no fire. Just a faulty alarm. But since they are all tied in together, they ALL went off. Any idea how loud that is? I had a headache for the rest of the day to remind me.

That does not sound fun for anyone except for Nathan who probably thought it was cool to have the firemen come to his house. I am glad you are able to make it a learning experience for the kids by trating it as Fire Safety Day.
As I began reading your post, I assumed it tied into your homeschooling although I thought the timing was off. From my kindergarten teaching days, I remembered that was usually in October!
So glad to hear it was not a real fire. It will be interesting to hear the kids description of the event! Hope your head is better now!
