FireWise Session / Documentary

WALT: Reflect on our experiences we had in the past.

Today I will be talking about the visit from Firemen and a family whose house was demolished in a fire, a 3 year old child was lost...

On Friday we had the privilege of having some Firemen come to speak to our school about Fire Safety. The thing that caught my mind the most was that 1/3 of fires are caused by unattended cooking! I mean who would leave cooking unattended? The most amazing thing was that one of the men was named GARY!! I was shocked to find that I met another person Gary... Anyways back on track, Did you know that a fire can demolish a house in 3 minutes? 3 minutes? That is really fast! Also this morning my class and I watched a documentary of a family who survived a fire but losing a 3 year old boy in the accident. The fire was predicted to be caused by a cigarette which lit up several fireworks. The fireworks flew around the whole Garage area, along with a mother lying on top of a bed. 2 minutes after the fire started, Emergency Services were called. 3 women and 1 male managed to get out while 3 children were left in the house. Brave Firemen risked their life by walking back in the burning house. They recovered the 2 girls but the girls were severely burned. They continued to look for the 3 year old boy, but pronounced he was dead! The fire still haunts the heads of those involved. A new house has replaced the burnt out house. But the story behind that, will forever be told.....

So remember guys, if you are a in a situation involving a fire. Call Fire! Fire! Fire! Also practise and memorize the exit points of your house. Creating a Fire Safety Meeting Place will increase the safety of you and our families life...
