WA#7: Revised Draft

Good morning kids! How are you all doing today?
Gooooood!
Great, I certainly am feeling good this morning too. I’m very excited to be here today to teach you all about a DANGER.
Oooooohhhh!
But before we get to learn all about this danger, can you all guess what my job is?
Firefighter!
That’s right! Many times a day, we firefighters get calls from around the city reporting fires. We have to be on call all day, always ready to leave the firehouse immediately. Our job is to get to the fire as quickly as possible in our big red fire trucks and put it out. So, I bet you all can now guess what this big DANGER is we will be learning about today?
Fires!
Yep. Fires are very dangerous, and you should not mess with them. You shouldn’t play with matches, because you might accidentally create a fire. So, how do we firefighters know there’s a fire to put out? What should YOU do until we get there? Well, I am going to tell you what to do in the event of a fire:

First of all, if you see or smell fire or smoke where it shouldn’t be, immediately pick up the phone and dial 911. It’s only three numbers you have to press. So what are the three numbers you press?
Nine-one-one!
Exactly! When the firefighter answers the phone, simply tell them that there is a fire. If you know the address of where you are, tell them that too.

The next thing you should do is run away from the fire. I bet I have some speedsters in here, am I right?
Yeah! I am! I’m the fastest!
Well that’s good, because fire can spread quickly, so the farther you are from it, the better. Tell others about the fire if they don’t already know there is one. Make sure they can get far away from the fire also.

Now, let’s pretend your shirt or hair has caught fire. Yes, it might look cool to have your hair on fire, but it can burn you terribly, and burns hurt a lot. So, can you all tell me what puts out fire?
Water!
Water does indeed put out fires. If you are near a sink or anything else with water, splash the water on yourself. However, if you aren’t near water, there are three things you need to do. This is very important, so listen carefully:
1) Stop.
2) Drop
3) And Roll.
These three steps are very simple and tell you exactly what to do. Wherever you are or whatever you are doing, STOP immediately. DROP to the ground, and ROLL. Keep rolling around, back and forth until the fire on you is gone. Isn’t that easy?
Yeah!
Very good, and its fun! Who wouldn’t want to roll around on the ground? I do it all the time!
Haha! Me too! Me too!

So, just to make sure you all have been paying attention, what is the first thing you do when there’s a fire?
Call nine-one-one!
Perfect. Then you should….
Run away as fast as you can!
You have been paying attention! Good! Now, for the toughest part. You are going to need to tell me three things. What should you do if there is fire on you?
Stop, drop and roll!
Congratulations, kids. You are now fire experts! Whenever you all are in danger with fire, you will know what to do. Thank you for being such good listeners! And remember, don’t play with fire! It is very dangerous stuff.
Have a great day!
