Fire Safety!

Springdale Second Graders attended a fire safety assembly today. We learned about smoke detectors, how to safely exit in case of emergency, and to plan a meeting place in case of a fire with your family. Students were able to talk to a firefighter and climb inside a fire truck.  We read, Firefighters in Three Communities, and discussed the differences between fighting fires in urban, suburban, and rural communities. Students used information learned from reading to help them plan a creative story using the prompt "Write a story about a fire on another planet.  Tell what kind of fire truck you would need to get to the fire and how you would put out the fire!  How big is the fire and how will you stay safe?"
