Fire Safety Week

This week many students of Center Drive School celebrated Fire Safety Week. A big "thank you" to Firefighter Shellie and her friends at Orrington Fire & Rescue and Brewer Fire Department!

Here are just some of the many tips that we learned from Firefighter Shellie:

The fire detector is your number one tool!

Test the batteries of your fire detectors once a month.

Change the batteries twice a year (use the Daylight Savings time change to remind you).

You need at least two exits from each room.

Candles should only be lit on a stove top.

If there is smoke in the room, crawl on your hands and knees (not on your belly).
Your family needs to have an agreed upon safe meeting place.

If your clothes catch on fire, STOP, DROP, COVER FACE, and ROLL.

 

 

STOP, DROP, COVER FACE, and ROLL!

Firefighter Shellie used a model to demonstrate what to do in case of a fire.
