Fire Safety with Captain McAvoy!

First Grade was able to learn all about Fire Safety today with my brother, Captain McAvoy from Jacksonville Beach Fire Department. We learned about what to do if your clothes catch on fire- do not run but STOP, DROP AND ROLL, that the smoke alarm is the most important device in your home because it could save your life, and what to do if your house is on fire. Please talk with your child at home about your plan if your house is on fire. This is so important because children tend to be scared in a situation like that and would maybe hide from Firefighters.

Captain McAvoy showed them all the gear that he has to wear and talked about how important it is to not hide and try to get the firefighters attention to rescue them. The kids loved it when he mentioned for them to even throw something at the firefighter if they can't get their attention! Thank you to Captain McAvoy for sharing such important information with our kids. Be sure to help your child complete their Fire Safety homework at home.
