Firewise Visit from The NZ Fire Service

Today we were lucky enough to have 6 fire fighters from the Wigram Station come to school and share the Firewise programme with us. We all learnt some very important things- 

  • Candles, matches and lighters are tools NOT toys (so are for grown ups only) 
  • When the smoke alarm goes off we have to shout "Fire! Fire! Fire!" then we get down, get low, and get out. 
  • Make sure your family has a safe meeting spot once you get out (the letterbox is a great choice).
  • When you are asleep you cannot smell smoke- this makes smoke detectors essential. 
We also got to see the fire truck and they explained all the special tools and equipment they have on board. The children got to ask lots of great questions and share some experiences too.
