Worsham Students Learn About Fire Safety

Disponible en:

Safety was in the air on February 23, 2012, for Worsham Elementary School students. Tom Petty, a senior inspector with the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office, spoke to the students about good fires versus bad fires; how lighters are tools and not toys; the importance of smoke detectors; the stop, drop and roll method; and how to crawl low under the smoke to escape a fire. They also watched a short video entitled Dot the Fire Dog. Additionally, Petty showed how Hunter, his K-9 partner, helps investigate fires.

The students learned a major lesson: If there is a fire, they must not hide but get outside quickly. Petty distributed trading cards and safety handouts to the students.
